ISPOR Discussion on Value-Based Healthcare

President of Health Platforms at Verily Life Sciences Dr. Vivian Lee shared her thoughts on the shift to value-based healthcare. She notes that while pilot programs have been successful, increased efforts must be made to consider the needs of physicians, payers, and patients. She notes that value-based healthcare requires greater investment and coordination at federal and state levels, which has been made exceedingly clear by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Lee remarks, “[W]e need to make the right thing, the easy thing to do for physicians and health systems in terms of how they can deliver on value. So that value isn’t just a matter of ticking off some boxes. But value is really kind of a completely different mindset for being evaluated on the outcomes our patients against the costs of the care and ensuring their patient engagement and access to care.” Read more here.
