Many value-based payment programs have struggled to achieve their goals of improving care and reducing costs. In some cases, they have even increased healthcare spending and created barriers for patients with complex conditions to access adequate care. The underlying issue? Current programs focus on financial incentives rather than providing healthcare providers with the resources and flexibility needed to deliver high-value care.

The Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform (CHQPR) outlines a fundamentally different approach to designing value-based payment systems that truly support better patient outcomes. By identifying avoidable spending, designing targeted services, and creating sustainable payment models, this new strategy empowers providers to deliver the care patients need without unnecessary financial risk.

Learn about the four steps essential for creating successful value-based payment programs and why a collaborative, evidence-based approach is critical for patients, providers, and payers alike.
