Using Connected Care Tools to Further Value-Based Care Goals

Prevention is better than cure -- this age-old adage continues to guide the healthcare industry as it moves from volume-driven to value-based care models. In value-based care models, healthcare providers are paid based on the quality of care they provide, measured by clinical outcomes, patient and provider experience and the cost of care.According to Ainsley MacLean, M.D., chief medical information officer and chief AI officer of the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group, the focus on prevention is a central aspect of the health system's value-based care strategy due, in part, to its origins, which lie in providing preventive care to workers in the 1930s.
