The Volume to Value Transition: Value-Based Care in Healthcare Organizations
HPM 573
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
Improving the value of care delivered is a focus of health systems globally as they address the challenge of improving health in a financially sustainable manner. Through financial incentives and other methods, value-based care aims to hold providers more accountable for improving patient outcomes while also giving them greater flexibility to deliver the right care at the right time. In this course you will learn the reasons behind the volume to value transition, strategies to affect that transition, challenges in shifting to a value-based model of care, and actions to mitigate those challenges. The approach to learning will include critical reviews of the theory behind value-based care as well as practical experience from leaders in the field who have been “in the trenches.” Upon completion of the course, you will be prepared to critically evaluate value-based care efforts from a strategic, operational, and policy perspective to enable you to become future value-focused leaders. This course is intended to be an elective course for Health Management students but may be of interest to Health Policy and DrPH students. HPM 219 and 255 are recommended prior to enrolling in this course.
