The healthcare industry is undergoing a significant transition, moving away from traditional fee-for-service models towards value-based care (VBC). Accelerating since the pandemic, the shift to VBC models is driven by the goal of enhancing patient-centered care while reducing costs and improving outcomes and has been fueled by VBC investors and government programs. In 2021, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation issued a white paper with an ambitious goal of shifting 100 percent of Medicare beneficiaries into an accountable-care relationship by 2030. This shift isn’t just about altering payment structures; it’s a fundamental reorientation towards more efficient, effective, and patient-centered healthcare services.
