As we embrace this season of gratitude, we’re especially thankful for the opportunity to gather with leaders dedicated to transforming healthcare. November 13th, Valtruis hosted a #ValueBasedCare (VBC) Summit in Washington, DC, bringing together an extraordinary group of policymakers, providers, and payors. Our goal? To tackle the challenges preventing VBC from reaching its full potential. Three overarching themes guided the Summit’s content: - Barriers to Scaling VBC: From regulatory constraints to operational hurdles, participants explored the persistent challenges constricting scaled adoption. - Innovative Models and Best Practices: Participants highlighted successful case studies demonstrating measurable outcomes and proof points in VBC. - Policy as a Lever for Change: Attendees discussed actionable strategies to align incentives and accelerate VBC. Despite the candid discussions, there were no simple answers. The complexities of VBC persist, and the Summit underscored the depth of those challenges. To open the Summit, participants were asked to describe VBC in a single word. The responses were wide-ranging, from down-the-middle keywords like “outcomes” to the hopeful “solution,” and even betrayed some skepticism with terms like “buzz,” “detail-poor,” and “Sisyphus.” (Yes, meaning the Greek figure condemned by the gods to roll a massive boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down each time he neared the top.) Their responses emphasized the evolving identity of value-based care, and its perplexing role as both solution and obstacle in our common pursuit of a better, more affordable healthcare system.

1wI’ve got a word we use at PreventScripts for value based care. It’s “Prevention” I appreciate this large consensus group acknowledging “gaming” of risk scores and especially the need to be working in upstream populations.
