It’s time to start thinking of healthcare equity, whole health, Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), and Health Related Social Needs (HRSN) as your network providers partners. In the current transforming Value-Based Care (VBC) arena, a successful VBC entity is investing in preventative care that is less costly & invasive. Such strategies keep cost of care low and meet alternative payment models (APMs) performance goals as we move away from a fee-for-service model.
The concepts of SDOH/HRSN, Health Equity, and Whole Health coupled with technology in artificial intelligence data management, software, telehealth, wearables etc. will be essential in meeting health performance measures. Convenience and person-centered healthcare is key to wellness in transforming healthcare.
