Regarding the article “Bundled-payment expansion brings providers more risk—and opportunity," this is a very exciting transition for patients and their families. Patients will receive care on a continual basis and move toward a shared goal by all providers to ensure that health improves quickly and efficiently—at home. Those providers willing to shift quickly to support the many forthcoming bundles will also be rewarded in the long term. This truly is a win for patients and providers, helping accomplish the quadruple aim: enhancing patient experience, improving population health, cutting costs—and improving the work life of caregivers.
