Vision and Philosophy
Through careful study and collaboration, Value Partnerships will improve the quality of care and make care processes more effective, based on the following guiding principles:
- Focus on investments in long-term changes in care processes.
- Recognize and reward performance of physician organizations, not just individual physicians. Encourage collaboration.
- Reward improvement, not just highest performance, to create meaningful incentives for all physician organizations.
- Focus on population-based cost measures, rather than per-episode cost, to avoid stimulating overuse.
- Design and execute programs in a customized and collaborative manner rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
