Health Care Reform GPS: A Provider Roadmap
To help aging services provides navigate the way through health care reform, LarsonAllen has developed Health Care Reform GPS: A Provider Roadmap, a white paper series that clarifies topics of the broader, national discussion and gives turn-by-turn directions to your value destination.
As any field or industry evolves, its working vernacular goes through a process of natural selection with respect to definitions and shared understanding.
Given the relative urgency of many reform initiatives, the health care and aging services fields need a collective understanding of commonly referenced terms and concepts.
The first document in the collection, The Map Legend: Four Fundamental Reform Concepts is a primer on 4 of the most current terms and concepts in health care reform (mostly related to payment reform) and what they will mean for all provider types:
- Value-based payment.
- Accountable care organizations (ACO).
- Bundled payments.
- Bending the cost curve.
