Healthcare data sharing is central to a successful value-based care strategy, according to Jamie Reedy, MD, MPH, chief of population health for Summit CityMD.
“If the physicians and care teams don’t know their quality scores, or they don’t know if they’re actually getting the right patients in for care, or they don’t know that their patients have actually been hospitalized or in the ER, then they’re not going to be able to appropriately manage the outcome that we negotiate in our contracts,” Reedy recently told RevCycleIntelligence.
But accessing all the data necessary for appropriate care management can be a major challenge for providers, especially those in value-based contracts like Summit CityMD, which participates in the risk-heavy Next Generation ACO Model and several downside risk models in the commercial space.
