In my work at CareAllies I encounter a number of misconceptions and myths about #valuebasedcare when speaking with providers who remain focused on a fee-for-service approach, not to mention more than a few different ways of defining “value.” Three of the most common myths are that #valuebasedcare stifles physicians’ independence, is financially disadvantageous, and complicates the delivery of care. The good news is that these myths are just that, and reflect the fact that we still have a long way to go to educate the #healthcare community on just how effective value-based approaches are, how they benefit patients and why they make sense for doctors and their practices. With that in mind, my latest post on the CareAllies blog looks at these three common misconceptions. I would love to hear directly from those with thoughts to share.

Currently, value-based care faces numerous hurdles that prevent widespread adoption. Technology, however, can address and prevent these challenges by enabling seamless communication and collaboration among healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. A more efficient, responsive healthcare environment relies on our ability to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care. We're seeing more and more nowadays, however, that this care can only be enabled by advanced and interoperable technological solutions. #ValueBasedCare #VBC #Healthcare #PatientCare

The importance of value-based payment models for primary care is highlighted by their potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs.   However, barriers such as lack of infrastructure and confusing metrics hinder provider participation. Our team assists by advocating for upfront support to alleviate financial burdens, implementing real-time data analysis to tailor strategies, and promoting shared savings and hybrid payment models.   By prioritizing value-based care, practices can enhance patient care, increase affordability, and achieve better health outcomes. We aim to facilitate this transition and support practices in delivering high-quality, holistic healthcare services through value-based models.   In addition to advocating for upfront support and promoting hybrid payment models, our team provides tailored guidance on implementing value-based care strategies, leveraging real-time data analysis to identify areas for improvement, and facilitating collaboration among stakeholders to overcome administrative hurdles and achieve long-term success.

We see the same issues come up fairly frequently within value-based care adoption, and one of the main ones is the difficulty of collaboration. This can be done through data sharing (especially real-time data sharing), though many providers are hesitant to adopt the technology needed to do so (interoperable EHRs, APIs, etc.), as it can get costly. It's important to note, however, that the long-term benefits like improved efficiency, and potential for shared savings in VBC models can outweigh the initial cost, and because of this, I believe mass adoption of these techs will be necessary for VBC to truly take off on a wide scale. #Healthcare #VBC #ValueBasedCare

“So why is this important? By shifting the focus from "discharge planning" to "home care orchestration," health systems and payers can not only reduce the cost of care, but also reduce complications and earn favorable feedback from patients, caregivers and providers. This requires a complex array of services, making it ripe for automating the manual workflow processes, tasks, activities and events that bring it to life. Clinical workflow automation addresses the challenges by standardizing processes, increasing efficiency and reducing administrative tasks.” https://lnkd.in/gu6_4R-X
