New value-driven reimbursement models are a major force for transformation in the healthcare sector<\/span><\/h4>\n

Whether it\u2019s the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), commercial plans, or consumers, everyone bearing financial risk for healthcare is accelerating value-based care and administrative cost reduction initiatives \u2014 aggressively. After being discussed in theory for decades and tested with models like patient-centered medical homes, pay-for-performance, and outcomes-based revenue models are now a reality<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMedicare has joined private health insurers including Aetna, Anthem, UnitedHealth Group, and the nation\u2019s Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans to move away from fee-for-service medicine, a system that pays doctors and hospitals based on volume of care delivered,\u201d reported Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2014, 20 percent of costs for the more than 50 million patients on Medicare were financed through value-based payments. That grew to 30 percent at the start of 2016, and HHS has issued a goal<\/a> of 85 percent by the start of 2017. While the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is unclear, value-driven programs such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) and the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) are backed with bipartisan support on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

Managing for quality and removing unnecessary costs from the system requires a whole new level of data sharing and collaboration between payers, providers, and consumers. Open platforms that facilitate information flow in a secure, compliant way are essential to success in a value-based system of care. Entrepreneurial-minded medical practice leaders are looking at intelligent apps to turn data into user-friendly tools to support care coordination and decision-making.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe realize surprises are costly. Surprises are unexpected complications in the patient\u2019s recovery. Infection after the surgery translates to additional care and resources for the patient\u2019s safe recovery. Because our practice receives a set amount under the value-based system, the complications are ultimately paid by the practice. Being at the forefront of patient education is fundamentally crucial for us to avoid any patients experiencing a treatment failure,\u201d said Benita Tapia, practice administrator at 90210 Medical Group.<\/p>\n

What to watch:<\/h4>\n

The shift to outcomes-based payments has been a boon to primary care providers who now lead a crucial part of the patient care lifecycle. With this attention, look for more innovation and more investment from family practice medical groups. Also, follow health technology companies focusing on care experience that follows patients outside of the exam room or hospital ward.<\/p>\n
