Value based care has a longer history than many realize. First conceived in 1967 and focused on sick children, the term “value based care” was coined only in 2005. Now, twenty years later, value based care arrangements cover almost half of health plan payments. My guest today helps practices adopt and use value based care programs, and she’ll help us break down how you can as well.

Dr. Shannon Decker is the Founder and CEO of VBC One, a consulting firm that partners with physician groups, health plans and vendors to optimize value-based care performance. With over 25 years of experience, including 17 in risk adjustment, quality and Medicare, she brings deep expertise in healthcare strategy, analytics, and operations. A published author and national speaker, Dr. Decker currently serves as a RISE fellow and on the faculty at Capella University.

In this episode Carl White and Shannon Decker discuss:

• What Valued Based Care is and how it compares to fee for service payment model
• What are things to consider when tackling risk and/or entering into a VBC contract
• How private practices can participate in value based care
• Why should practices consider engaging help
