With healthcare reform a key priority for 2021 and beyond – and with value-based healthcare (VBHC) a central component of the ongoing reform today – what could the next phase of VBHC implementation look like under each president? Prior to that, there had been calls for major health system reform that focussed on quality and cost. So far, the primary tool to help us get there has been the value-based payment model. But, given the fragmented and transactional nature of the U.S. health system with its multiple stakeholders, incremental movement in this direction is being encouraged through value-based payment of services, or value-based incentives. Whilst the implementation of mandatory value-based payment models has largely been made voluntary, they are still in play.
