What is Value Partnerships?
It is safer, higher-quality, cost-effective health care.
It is value-based, outcomes-based health care.
It is a movement away from the fee-for-service model that pays providers for every service regardless of its effectiveness. Value Partnerships initiatives pay health care providers for successfully managing their patients’ health.
These results moderate health costs – saving nearly $2.2 billion over the last decade because repeated tests were avoided, complications and errors were reduced, ER visits and hospital stays were prevented, and care was coordinated.
Value Partnerships began in 2005 with a handful of programs focused on quality improvement in the primary care and surgical arena Today, there are 10 major programs that house roughly 50 initiatives encouraging safety, quality, population health and coordination of care.
