As providers and payers invest in the move from volume to value, they are facing the reality that clinicians are lacking when it comes to training, education, and technology specific to enabling value-based care over fee-for-service.
In order to succeed in this transition, practicing clinicians and emerging residents need hands-on support and investment to evolve, fast.
While there has been some discussion on specific ways providers and payers can best support clinicians in this care evolution today—such as offering them tools that are purpose-built for value-based care (aka, not the electronic health record) and even incentivizing these changes—the same cannot be said for clinicians in training. Similar to how we adopted E/M documentation during my own training all those years ago, upfront investment by systems and payers now can help prepare the next generation of clinicians to make value-driven care a reality.
