Value-Based Care: How Home Care is Evolving Beyond Contracts

Currently, a clear definition of “value-based” within ​the personal care sector is lacking. This absence presents a meaningful hurdle for ​providers eager‌ to embrace new payment models. As Kaushal, a leading voice in the home care industry, pointed ​out at‍ HHCN’s FUTURE conference, manny personal care agencies aren’t yet ‌equipped to pilot at-risk programs.

This isn’t due to a lack of interest, but rather a ‍matter of scale and sophistication. Successfully ​implementing value-based care requires robust data collection, analysis, and a willingness‌ to accept financial risk -‌ capabilities that are still developing within many‍ personal care organizations.
