Understanding The Value of Value Based Care

Dr. Dan Fabius

In a recent webinar, Dan Fabius, DO, Consensus Health’s Chief Medical Informatics Officer, dove into the basics behind Value Based Care — a form of reimbursement that ties payments for care delivery to the quality of care provided and rewards providers for both efficiency and effectiveness.  Value-based care models center on patient outcomes and how well healthcare providers can improve quality of care based on specific measures, such as reducing hospital readmissions, using better technology, and improving preventative care.

At Consensus Health improving the health of populations while meeting the growing demand for value-based care is a top priority. Physicians are at the forefront of improving the overall quality of care across the country and while the tools at their disposal are helping them to make healthcare better, there’s no silver bullet that addresses all the challenges physicians face. By maximizing patient engagement, improving practice workflows, and optimizing the utility of existing tools and technology, Consensus Health helps provider organizations make the right kinds of choices to drive current and future success.

In this webinar, Dr. Fabius touches on attribution and provider alignment, cost of care, patient engagement, and other areas of value based care. Please listen to the recording found here and check back often for the next installment in this 6-part series.
