HIT Consultant | April 7, 2025
| | The staggering reality that health care could soon account for one fifth of all domestic spending has put a bull’s eye on health care cost control. Is your ACO, health system, or physician organization ready to manage the coming congressional budget cuts? The only effective way to tackle Total Costs of Patient Care (TCoC) without cutting services is through a curated value-based care approach. | | | |
Health Affairs | April 2, 2025
| Malnutrition, defined as the “inadequate intake of nutrients, particularly protein, over time,” affects 20 percent to 50 percent of hospitalized patients despite only 8 percent being diagnosed. Malnutrition has been shown to increase hospital costs (34 percent more) and 30-day readmission rates (54 percent higher) compared to hospitalizations in patients without a malnutrition diagnosis. Addressing malnutrition through targeted nutrition interventions improves outcomes and reduces costs, directly supporting value-based care goals. | |  |
Healthcare Innovation | April 2, 2025
| Risant Health, a nonprofit organization created by Kaiser Foundation Hospitals in 2023 and dedicated to increasing access to value-based care, has filled out its leadership ranks, naming Jessica Bartell, M.D., M.S., M.B.A., its chief medical information officer. Also Deepak Sadagopan has joined Risant as business lead, value-based platform. KP Medical Foundation physician Chris Cable, M.D., and Washington Permanente Medical Group physician Marc Mora, M.D., have been named clinical leads for the value-based platform. | | | The rapid expansion of the accountable care organization (ACO) program implemented by CMS in 2012 has resulted in different types of health care organizations participating in this value-based payment model. The ACO model encourages providers to coordinate patient care across the continuum and financially rewards participants through shared savings for containing costs while improving the quality of care. | | | |
