Engaging the Board in Quality and Value Based Care

In today’s health care environment, value-based care and payment continue to gain momentum and traction because value-based care improves clinical quality, satisfies patients and families, advances community health, and lowers per capita costs. Payors such as Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers are increasingly utilizing value-based payment methods, such as shared savings and bundled payments, in their contracting with health care organizations. As a result, it is essential for rural health care organizations (HCOs) to understand value-based care (VBC). Each hospital will complete a Value-Based Care Strategic Planning Tool which will assess your health care organization's (HCO) capacities (leadership, resources, processes, infrastructure, etc.) to deliver value-based care (VBC).
