Despite the belief that healthcare payment reform has been on the verge of a tipping point for years, most of what passes for value-based payments (VBP) today—including pay-for-performance, global payment or capitation, and bundled payments—is still built on a foundation of fee-for-service (FFS).

With growth sluggish in the adoption of value-based care reimbursement, the healthcare industry in the United States has zeroed in on a strategic, risk-adverse approach that demonstrates a strong return on investment (ROI), according to a new report from KLAS and College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME).

The unprecedented challenges facing healthcare organizations have put a spotlight on value-based care as a key factor to financially surviving the global COVID-19 pandemic—thanks to more stable revenue streams, as well as care coordination and data analysis capabilities.

The ability to accurately assess physician performance in cardiology is critical—especially with the push for quality improvement in the age of value-based care—but it remains a challenge, according to a new study.

What is holding hospitals back from using data analytics to make decisions that could potentially cure some of what ails the healthcare industry? A recent survey found that despite having access to these tools, eight in 10 managers reported utilization as negligible—despite evidence that analytics can lower costs and improve performance.

The United States spends more per capita on healthcare than any other industrialized nation yet ranks at the bottom of the list for quality of care. Where some see a problem, Matt Esham sees the chance to do better.

“That delta between being the biggest spender and having the worst outcomes equals an opportunity,” says LUMEDX’s Director of Business Intelligence.

Progress towards value-based care has stalled, according to a new study from Quest Diagnostics, due to a lack of quality metrics and analytics insights from data.

As hospital administrators, service line leaders and clinicians work tirelessly to stay on the cutting edge of science and medicine, health IT is increasingly providing the solutions to many new challenges.

Healthcare providers are prioritizing value-based payment models in 2018 IT budgets and data analytics is the category most likely to see an increase in spending, according to a survey from healthcare advisory firm Damo Consulting.
