We have been so focused on engaging healthcare providers with value-based care (VBC) models that we may have forgotten that it all may fail unless the healthcare consumers buy into VBC as well. Patients stand to gain much through VBC, through improved clinical outcomes, more support with non-medical needs, improved access, lower costs, and more opportunities to drive care decisions. If we can engage patients to support VBC models, the transition may be much quicker and organic. Making The Promise Of Value-Based Care Meaningful To Consumers | Health Affairs https://okt.to/jtkY5m

As the health care industry strives to deliver high-quality care in a cost-effective way, many have turned to Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) as a solution. The successful partnership between Blue Shield of California and the San Francisco Health Service System (SFHSS) has demonstrated the potential for ACOs to produce low-cost, high-quality care.

I spent the earlier part of this week listening in on amazing panel discussions at TD Cowen Inc.’s 44th healthcare conference. Several insights stood out to me, one of them being the need for a more integrated approach to healthcare technology. It's become increasingly clear that for digital health solutions to be truly effective, they must not only offer innovative capabilities but also seamlessly integrate into the existing healthcare ecosystem. In the absence of this, we risk creating innovations that disrupt, rather than enhance the patient care continuum at worst, and at best innovations that fail to serve the very people we purport to. The efficacy of these solutions shouldn't solely be measured by their adoption rates but rather by their impact on reducing the necessity for invasive procedures. For instance, if the proliferation of digital MSK solutions does not correspond with a decrease in surgical interventions, one would wonder about the true effectiveness of these solutions. At least, I would hope we would ask those questions, taking a result-oriented approach in evaluating digital health solutions as opposed to merely aiming for technological advancement. With the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) increasingly incorporating digital health solutions into their coverage, the emphasis on evidence-based outcomes and seamless integration with traditional care models has never been more critical. Special thanks to the amazing team at TD Cowen Inc. who put in a ton of work to make for an amazing experience!
