Value-Based Care 101

Value-based care (VBC) is a critical component of every health care organization’s short- and long-term strategy. With a focus on quality and efficiency over quantity, VBC seems like an obvious approach to improving outcomes and lowering costs. On the surface, VBC may sound easy; in reality, VBC is complex and needs to solve for challenges that plague our communities. Challenges like how to make people healthier, how to get people more engaged in their health, and how to make health care more affordable.
