30 Aug Addressing Consumer Priorities in Value-Based Care

Posted at 14:55h in All Value Models, Implementation Resources, Patient-Centered Care by Joe Chapman

The Health Care Transformation Task Force, a consortium of patients, payers, providers and purchasers working to transform the U.S. health care delivery system, has released a new framework that systems can use to ensure consumers priorities remain front and center during all phases of the transformation to a value-based care system.

The framework is organized around six broad principles to support person-centered, value-based payment programs:

· Include patients/consumers as partners in decision-making at all levels of care.

· Deliver person-centered care.

· Design alternative payment models (APMs) that benefit consumers.

· Drive continuous quality improvement.

· Accelerate use of person-centered health information technology.

· Promote health equity for all.

The paper provides a rich set of more than 130 questions that systems can use as an agenda for dialog and action. A summary and explanation of the framework, authored by members of the Task Force executive committee, is laid out in a Health Affairs blog post, “How Person Centered is Your Health Care Organization.”
