This week, the Health Care Transformation Task Force, a group of "leading health care payers, providers, purchasers, patient organizations, and value transformation partners," released a new resource detailing the importance of value-based care (VBC) healthcare models. The resource, entitled "The Next Frontier: Specialty Integration in Value-Based Care", was a collaboration between a number of senior leaders across various VBC organizations, and includes ten case studies demonstrating the potential that value-based care offers for increased integration between various specialty practices, treatment types, and patient populations. Speaking on behalf of Aledade, Inc., which is a member of the task force, SVP of Innovation and Partnerships Catherine Olexa-Meadors spoke about Aledade's experience with value-based care, stating that "By leveraging data-driven insights and close collaboration between independent primary care physicians and specialists, [Aledade has] improved patient outcomes and reduced avoidable hospitalizations. Programs like this show how specialty care can be integrated into value-based care models, creating scalable solutions that enhance quality while lowering costs."

Specialty participation in #ValueBasedCare is a strategic priority for providers, purchasers, payers, and policymakers. In collaboration with senior leaders at payer, provider, and VBC enabler organizations, the Health Care Transformation Task Force developed a strategic framework to describe the breadth of specialty VBC models in the public and private sectors. Three categories may be layered to align incentives for value, quality, and equity across specialties and organizations:? ?? Longitudinal Total Cost of Care?? ?? Conditions & Episodes? ??

Proud to feature Evolent oncology management experience as a case study in this timely Health Care Transformation Task Force resource on specialty integration in value-based care, with a major hat tip to?Andrew Hertler, MD, FACP for sharing his deep expertise. While our payment models can and will evolve, we have a clear directive: support specialty health care with better medical evidence at the point of care and use data and evidence-based clinical interventions that improve patient and provider experience and drive value. There's a ton of opportunity in this space, and I'm proud of Evolent's contributions and learnings to-date!

Today, the Health Care Transformation Task Force released a resource featuring case studies that provide operational insights into how organizations are addressing specialty integration across specialties, model types, and for different populations. ?
