From Value-Based Care Goals To Realities: 4 Steps To Your Desired Destination12/9/2015
It’s one thing to have a destination circled on a map, quite another to actually get there and put your feet on the ground. Case in point: Health and Human Services (HHS) has set a goal of tying 30 percent of traditional, or fee-for-service, Medicare payments to quality or value through alternative payment models, such as Accountable Care Organizations or bundled payment arrangements by the end of 2016.
