The Management Transition To Value-Based Reimbursement Is All About The Performance Metrics

I appropriated a line from Matt Salo, the executive director of the National Association Of Medicaid Directors last week, in Moving To Value – Easy To Say & Hard To Do. He said that value-based purchasing is “really, really easy to say and really, really hard to do.”  I would like to add that while it is really, really hard to do the purchasing – it is equally hard to be on the other side of the equation and manage value-based reimbursement.

Across all payers, we're seeing more value-based reimbursement and many “flavors” of contracts – accountable care organizations . . .
