Value-Based Care

This week my optimism was rewarded by the information shared at the Federal Health Innovation Day hosted by the Nashville Health Care Council and Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management.

Medicare Initiative

In less than 6 years a fundamental change will directly affect 55% of Medicare recipients (34.8 million people) as Medicare completes an initiative started in 1983 with the Prospective Payment System (PPS).

This final surge will result in 100% of Medicare recipients receiving care from providers incented to coordinate high-quality patient care and eventually eliminate fee-for-service reimbursement.

In short, the health of the entire American population will be impacted in less time than the typical car buyer considers a new car.

Many patients and providers – the early adopters – already benefit from many available changes that, even now, have collateral impacts on commercial and private payers.

I started my healthcare career in 1983 and I will end my career helping patients and providers finalize this shift to quality-over-cost patient care just as I become eligible for Medicare benefits.

This is a very exciting segment of the healthcare technology market. I post on timely topics that affect each of us as patients, caregivers, providers, and the industry.
