Value for Whom: How Do We Center Patients in Value-Based Care?

During our 2023 Summit in April, Health Evolution Fellows participated in special breakout sessions that brought together executives from across our ten, year-round Forum Roundtables to address some of #healthcare’s most challenging issues. Our in-person gatherings provide a unique and candid venue to convene Fellows to tackle pressing problems that permeate across multiple of the topic-specific Roundtables.

In the Fellowship breakout session “Value for Whom: How Do We Center Patients in Value-Based Care?,” moderator Mark Smith , MD, Founding President & former CEO, California Health Care Foundation, and discussion leaders Adam Boehler , CEO, Rubicon Founders , and Martha Wofford , President & CEO, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island , led an interactive and frank discussion on what health care leaders must do to ensure patients see the impact of initiatives intended to move the U.S. health care system toward #valuebasedcare . During the conversation, leaders discussed strategies for:

• Balancing mandates to improve affordability, quality, and accessibility of care, such as by leveraging value-based care to invest in primary care to improve access;
• Creating cross-industry and cross-sector partnerships to address health comprehensively, including housing, education, and social services; and
• Further aligning incentives and processes so payers and providers can succeed under and expand value-based contracts across different patient populations.
