Value-based care is a healthcare delivery model that pays providers based on patient outcomes. This incentive-based model encourages providers to help patients improve overall health using evidence-based practices and proactivity rather than reactivity. This can lead to a reduction in chronic diseases and an overall reduction in healthcare costs, but, like any change, it comes with challenges. With additional wellness checks, providers can have an increased workload. In addition, if an organization is not already well-versed in collecting and organizing data, then the objectives can be challenging to meet leading to penalties.
In this Discussion, you will explore the transition from volume-based to value-based care from either a personal experience or a case study from the literature and analyze how that transition impacted the organization as a whole. In addition, you will recommend an alternative method of transition.
Consider the impact of the transition from volume- to value-based healthcare delivery in your HSO or one with which you are familiar. If you cannot find an example in your professional life, search the literature to find a case study on healthcare transition or transformation.
Potential transitions to consider may be examples such as the shift from inpatient to ambulatory care or the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) initiative.
Post a comprehensive response to the following:
Describe the nature of the volume-to-value transition in the organization.
Analyze how this transition affected operations, based on the organization’s operational resources and limitations.
How did the organization respond to the changes?
Was the response to the change effective?
How was the workforce empowered during this change?
How does the Integrated Practice Unit (IPU) approach compare to the transition response? Justify your conclusion.
Recommend an alternative course of action besides the IPU approach.
