Managed Care & Value-Based Reimbursement

The impending shift to value-based reimbursement (VBR) and managed care in the health and human services industry has become a driving force across both public and private sector organizations, not only forcing new operating models and systems, but pushing providers to develop new partnerships with payers and to prepare for population health management. This shift presents organizational, technical, and cultural challenges that require a robust technology infrastructure, data-driven decisionmaking, and new leadership competencies. As behavioral health provider organizations move towards risk-based contracts, those who adapt to this change will have a better opportunity to carry forward in the provision of value-based services.
