What is value in health care? This collection contains three modules, which introduce the concept of value in health care - outcomes that matter to patients / total costs of care - and describes what it means for both patients and clinicians. Module 2 explores different types of measures and discusses the importance of measuring outcomes that matter to patients (the numerator of the value equation). Module 3 confronts the confusing world of costs in health care (the denominator of the value equation), defining different cost terms and payment models, and exploring cost accounting and insurance coverage structure.
Collection two examines what value-based health care delivery can look like in practice. The collection contains two modules that cover the importance of working with teams to coordinate care around the needs of patients, including the description of two example delivery structures: Integrated Practice Units (IPUs) and Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs). Module 5 brings the concepts from modules 1-4 all together and covers the 6 guiding principles of value-based health care delivery.
How can the systems we work in better contribute to high-value care, and how can we affect change from within them? Our final collection in Discovering Value-Based Health Care examines organizational culture, payment structures, and systems change methodologies for promoting authentic and large-scale high-value care initiatives. Module 8 focuses on recognizing how organizational culture affects care delivery, Module 9 examines health care reimbursement strategies and alternatives to the current predominant fee-for-service system, and Module 10 describes how individuals can lead improvement initiatives in their institutions.
