The adoption of value-based healthcare is accelerating across the country as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to bring to light many of the barriers to providing quality patient care in the existing fee-for-service and episodic sick care model. In Patient Safety & Quality Healthcare, the writer Matt Phillion explains why providers are making the shift and what tools they need to be successful in delivering quality, value-based care.
There have been several well documented Covid-19 impacts on the US healthcare system. Perhaps a bit under the radar has been the increased acceleration towards value-based care models. While a big driver of this shift can be attributed to providers and health systems struggling to maintain fee-for-service revenues in a time of lock downs and lower patient visit volumes, merely changing the payment model away from 100% fee-for-service won’t alone make these models successful on delivering higher quality, affordable care. At C3LX, our mission is to support value-based care models with technology that equips care teams with the tools and patient insights necessary to be successful. A recent
Harvard Business Review article touches on several digital health capabilities that health systems will need to include, and yet these examples are just a starting point. Over the next several weeks, we will dive into each of these digital health capabilities in more detail.

The oft overlooked factor is the actual relationship between the patient and the providers, how important the relationship is for improving health, especially during times like these where healthcare delivery and access is even more fragmented and transactional given the incredible surges in volume.
