At Bayhealth, Value-Based Care helps put the Patient First
While the complexity of value-based care arrangements can bewilder even the brightest minds in health care, Bayhealth finds that a patient-focused mindset helps to keep things simple.For physicians and their care teams at Bayhealth, the focus on value-based care has meant helping a woman in an abusive relationship find a way out, helping a patient living in a tent find an apartment and get surgical treatment for his cataracts, and delivering lifesaving treatment for a brain bleed discovered during an annual wellness visit. These are just a few of the memorable cases that stand out, but the broader numbers also make the case for Bayhealth’s approach.During the last three years, Bayhealth has worked with the eBright Health Accountable Care Organization (ACO) to improve its performance on quality measures and achieve better patient outcomes across several patient populations—from traditional Medicare patients to patients enrolled in managed-care plans.
