Reshaping Primary Care: Embracing Payment Reforms and VBC Technology
The Innovation Accelerator Podcast
Primary care is meant to be the foundation of our healthcare system, yet it receives only 4-6% of total US healthcare spending. That under-investment is one reason—if not “the” reason—why the US spends more on healthcare but has the worst outcomes among high-income countries, according to a Commonwealth Fund report. Our current fee-for-service system incentivizes volume over value. Despite industry rhetoric about the importance of primary care, it remains poorly resourced and ill-equipped to deliver the comprehensive, continuous care patients need. Meanwhile, clinicians’ frustration...

Reinventing the Role of Chief Marketing Officer
The Innovation Accelerator Podcast
In healthcare, the acronym “CMO” most often refers to a Chief Medical Officer, and rightly so. But another variety of CMO, the Chief Marketing Officer, is found in just about every industry––including healthcare. And today, the role of the healthcare CMO is evolving quickly. In post-pandemic America, marketing and branding have taken on new meaning as hospitals, health systems, MCOs, ACOs, and insurers all seek to engage the consumer. For provider organizations, it’s not simply a matter of maintaining reputation and driving traffic through the door. Value-based care and the...

It's in that spirit that we bring you several members of our CMO (Chief Medical Officer) team,...

The Innovation Accelerator Podcast
Starting with a CMS demonstration project of only ten providers in 2005, today’s value-based care (VBC)一when including MIPS and MACRA一now carries close to 100% primary care provider participation. And nearly 60% of all healthcare payments have some relation to quality and value—with rising levels of reimbursement related to risk and population.
