The Impact of Value-Based Payment on Healthcare Quality
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, as well as other payers have shifted from episode-based payment to a combination of value-based and episode-based payment. The discussion this week will focus on the impact of this payment transition.
In your initial response, respond to the following prompts:
• Describe your perspective on the shift towards value-based payment in your practice setting.
• Detail how this transition has impacted the way providers practice, the quality of care, and the patient’s experience of the healthcare system.
• Apply national quality indicators (AHRQ, CMS, or HEDIS) to your DNP project.
