It would be silly to have an argument over whether value-based care is a good principle. That’s unless, of course, you had to parse out what exactly each individual or organization meant when they referred to value-based care.
No one would argue – or should argue – that making the health care system more focused on providing good outcomes for patients at a lower cost is a bad thing.
But sort of like words that get attached to political culture wars, the term value-based care is now a loaded one. Championing it as a concept – or critiquing it – could put you somewhere in the eyes of others where you don’t want to be.
The home health care industry is moving toward value-based care no matter what its stakeholders believe about the concept. It was a guiding principle behind the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM), which was implemented in 2020. The Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model, soon to be rolled out nationwide, directly refers to it in its name.
