Value-Based Care in a Multi-Payer World

Oct. 9 | 11 a.m. PT
Sun Stage

Value-based care reshapes the way we perceive the healthcare ecosystem, where someone's cost is no longer just another's revenue, but rather a shared investment in a healthier society. Embracing VBC not only fosters cost-efficiency, but also becomes a powerful enabler of health equity, prioritizing patient outcomes above all else. The current state of VBC is still uncertain, and depending on who you ask, we aren’t clear on how much it’s really moved the needle. Are the hurdles of adopting this model in the multi-payer world of healthcare too great to overcome? And does fee-for-service still have a role to play in this evolving landscape? Strikingly, the answer lies in a balanced fusion of the two. To realize a world where healthcare transcends financial barriers, emphasizing quality outcomes and patient-centric care, value-based care will certainly need to play the leading role.
