A recent article in Fierce Healthcare highlights a troubling trend: rising health care costs in the US coupled with stagnant or even declining health outcomes. https://bit.ly/4ffjg6F This is a major concern for all stakeholders in the health care system, and it's clear that the current fee-for-service model isn't helping. At Innovista Health, we believe that value-based care offers a promising solution. Value-based care incentivizes providers to deliver high-quality care that keeps patients healthy — not to book more visits or make more diagnoses. This approach has been shown to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and create a more efficient, effective health care system. Implementing a successful VBC program requires the right partner. Innovista provides the right tools, resources, partnership, and support you need to drive measurable success in value-based care. What does that mean for you? Improved patient outcomes *and* lower costs. #ValueBasedCare #HealthcareTrends

“That is the highest projection we’ve seen by this survey in over 15 years. And at that rate of increase, when compounded, healthcare costs in 2025 will be more than 50% of 2017 levels. What’s worse is this healthcare inflation is expected to persist," says Ellen Kelsay. Brace yourselves—healthcare costs are expected to rise at the fastest rate in over a decade. This surge is a critical reminder of the ongoing challenges in balancing care quality and affordability. Now more than ever, we need innovative solutions and policies that prioritize patient well-being without breaking the bank. #HealthcareCosts #HealthEquity #PatientAdvocacy

Post-pandemic healthcare has gone through rough times, and we can all agree that there is a dilemma that needs to be addressed with an approach that needs to be different than anything we’ve ever done before. Healthcare is more than a business - it’s about helping and healing people, the most important focus. Three foundational principles that help us humanize healthcare are: 1. Build trust 2. Address health inequities and disparities 3. Resource and expand primary care Patient care should always be the number one priority, making the lives we touch matter more than business decisions. #Healthcare #PatientCare #HealthInequities

"We’ve neglected the fundamental thing that would transform American healthcare into an affordable system for better health: primary care." As healthcare evolves, the need for a primary care-led system becomes clear. Kyna Fong, PhD's latest article points out that shifting the focus from reactive to preventive care not only improves outcomes but also reduces costs. To go about this, we need significant policy reforms to support primary care, including better reimbursement models and financial incentives for primary care practices. And now, more than ever, we need technology to support primary care by leveraging telehealth and data analytics to enhance patient care and improve outcomes. At Elation Health, we're committed to leading this transformation, ensuring primary care providers are empowered and patients receive the best care possible.

The widespread focus on improving healthcare quality and health outcomes is energizing to see ripple across the healthcare industry. Especially considering the recent CMS Innovation announcements to extend funding for Maternal Health, Advanced Integration in Behavioral Health, the focus on Person-Centered Health, and for those in NY, the 1115 NYHER waiver approval.   In this blog, I flip the conversation to us as patients. What do we expect from our healthcare in terms of quality and outcomes?   How would you measure and rate your healthcare outcomes?
