Of all the transformations reshaping American health care, none is more profound than the shift toward value.
Economic pressures and the growing numbers of uninsured are cutting hospital margins. Meanwhile, quality and patient satisfaction are being factored into Medicare reimbursement, while private payers are pushing for performance and risk-based payment structures, capitated contracts, and pay-for-performance incentives.
Through HFMA’s Value Project, healthcare finance leaders are joining their clinical partners to shape this transformation. Launched in 2010, the Value Project is now in its second phase.
New!
The Value Journey: Organizational Road Maps for Value-Driven Health Care. All healthcare organizations face common challenges in transitioning to value-based payment and care delivery. But different types of organizations also have unique challenges and opportunities in the transition. Working with 35 hospitals and health systems, HFMA has defined value road maps for:
- Academic medical centers
- Aligned integrated systems
- Multihospital systems
- Rural hospitals
- Stand-alone hospitals
