Are We Crying Wolf? VBP in 2022

Gail Zahtz on HCBiz- part 2 of the Value Based Care Series

We planned to discuss quality measures but shifted to address a very important piece of listener feedback after the preview and Episode 1. The comments came from a doctor in the audience and I know there are many more doctors and healthcare administrators who feel the same way.

The feedback, in short, is that we’ve been hearing about the move to value for 10 years. We’ve invested in it through several evolutions and it still hasn’t come to fruition. The key is to rebuild trust between the government and those delivering the care- whether hospitals, payers, providers, or innovators. Otherwise, they won’t trust enough to take action.

Gail Zahtz, and I discuss this commentary in the context of this series.

Thank you to the listener who provided this feedback. I hope this discussion is helpful.
