Health care leaders continue to face the pressures of predicting, measuring and communicating accurate benefits and threats associated with the shift to value-based agreements. Executives’ ability to ensure success under these agreements requires a predictive outlook that heavily depends on the merging of clinical and financial data, which can be a new and unfamiliar territory for some organizations. Leaders must have an understanding of their strengths and vulnerabilities before they take on risk.
Modern Healthcare Custom Media discussed provider and payer sentiment around the shift to value-based arrangements with executives from Optum Advisory Services, who offered best practices for leaders actively considering value-based deals. Their responses provide insight for health care leaders looking to manage risk and make the right decisions when considering a potential agreement.
