Alliance for Value-Based Patient Care’s Post

Great article by Aledade, Inc.'s newest partner Jeff Brandes from Azara Healthcare on the cost of inaction, both financially and in terms of patient care, by not moving to value-based care. "In a health care landscape where cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction are paramount, dismissing value-based care is equivalent to bypassing an avenue for financial gain and improved patient care. Just as leaving money on the table signifies lost opportunity, not embracing value-based care means leaving financial benefits and enhanced patient well-being untapped."

An interesting look at value-based care arrangements and the unique features, benefits and challenges of this model. The insights provided in the article underscore the importance of understanding the intricacies of each value-based care model to effectively implement strategies that optimize patient care delivery and financial outcomes. We are seeing a notable trend in the adoption of value-based care arrangements and are helping clients navigate these evolving relationships. HealthPayerIntelligence

Compared to other high-income countries, the U.S. lags significantly behind in coordinating patient care. There is a notable lack of follow-up to support patients in scheduling appointments with specialists after they have been referred. Many doctors also struggle to determine whether a specialist is part of a patient's healthcare network, resulting in increased expenses. Here are some key ways virtual primary care improves referrals and care coordination: https://fshealth.info/RCC #VirtualPrimaryCare #PatientExpeirence #HealthcareSavings 

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty's research shows that patients stand to benefit from healthcare price transparency. https://lnkd.in/gwcZgvnQ ➡ A recent study by the RAND Corporation indicates that Wisconsin’s hospital prices are the 4th highest in the nation.  ➡ A 2020 survey of Wisconsinites found that almost half of Wisconsinites—47%— have delayed or completely avoided receiving healthcare.  ➡ Four in five Wisconsinites are worried about being able to afford our healthcare costs in the future, and 73% of respondents said healthcare was the most important issue to them. ➡ A study by Forbes found that healthcare costs in Wisconsin are nearly $10,000 per person each year.  ➡ In Wisconsin, a blood test for clotting time can range from $17.50 to $135.47 and a joint replacement (hip or knee) can cost between $17,513 and $65,927. https://lnkd.in/giXMVvaY #pricetransparency #hospitals #wisconsin #healthcarecosts

Surveys show that a majority of Americans are dissatisfied with the quality of healthcare in the United States. In her latest Forbes column, healthcare expert Rita Numerof, PhD lifts up the hood of a broken system. As a patient’s unpleasant trip to the ER reveals, medical supply shortages and a lack of transparency are just some of the persistent challenges facing hospitals and other provider organizations. She also explains why getting to a new patient-centered, market-based model “that delivers higher quality care at lower cost,” continues to be a slow and painful journey. https://lnkd.in/gDbTPiJi

If you're aware of the definition of healthcare, you know that "prevention" is one of the many keywords. If you're familiar with the actual healthcare system, you know it currently focuses on diagnosis and treatment rather than prevention. Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), like the #VytalizeACO, were established to move the healthcare industry away from traditional fee-for-service and toward the value-based care delivery model that prioritizes preventive medicine.
