Value-Based Care : A Promise that says ‘We Care’
Let’s go back couple of decades. Remember going to a physician and he would ask you to get X-ray, blood test and 10 other tests just for sprain? More often than not, patients would face something similar and if you hadn’t, then, trust me you were among the lucky ones. The rationale behind this could be somewhere around providing more and more services. Not surprisingly, sometimes even when they weren’t needed! ‘Fee-for-service’ model. The name says it all. A model where providers received payment for the services provided. The major flaw, as one would guess, was that the focus was on quantity of care, but not on the quality of care.
