This presentation will center on the complex nature of value-based alternative payment structures in healthcare environments. Topics will include:

Understanding Value-Based Payment Models: The lecture will cover some of the different value-based payment models in healthcare, including their goals, underlying economic incentive implementation and financial capital requirements, and impact on patient care and population health.

Identifying Key Success Factors: Discuss the critical factors that contribute to successful value-based payment initiatives. These include alignment of incentives, data analytics and data-driven decision-making, clinical leadership, care management and coordination, and the role of the ACO.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls: Understand the challenges and pitfalls associated with value-based alternative payment structures. Topic will discuss risk adjustment, financial benchmarking, provider engagement, managing high-risk high-need populations, and measuring outcomes accurately.

Discussing the Policy Implications: Consider the broader policy implications of value-based payment models on Medicaid and Medicare policy goals. Policymakers need to understand the economic and delivery system structural implications of wide-spread deployment of value-based payment and the need to create an environment that supports successful implementation and sustainability?
