It notes that VBD leverages prevention, chronic care management, and appropriate care delivery. Successful VBD requires engagement of employees, employers, and providers, and focuses on communication and alignment of incentives.
This document summarizes health care cost trends and initiatives for the City of Cincinnati from 1999-2009. It shows rising health care costs until initiatives like an 80/20 plan in 2005 and the Healthy Lifestyles wellness program launched in 2007 helped control increases. The Healthy Lifestyles program provides incentives for preventative health activities to encourage employees to adopt healthier lifestyles and lower costs long-term. Statistics on program participation and incentives earned are provided for 2007-2009, showing increasing participation over time.
The document discusses payment reform and outlines Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan's new payment model. The current fee-for-service model rewards volume over value. The goals of payment reform are to reward high value services, remain profitable by keeping people healthy, and pay less for lower quality care. The new BCBSM model includes tiered fees to pay high performing providers more, steering patients to these providers, privileging only high performers for certain services, shared savings programs, and bundled payments to expand DRG-based hospital payments to other services. The transformation requires linking higher payments to better performance over the long term through stepwise changes aligned with payment reforms.
1) Current payment systems incentivize providers to focus on high-volume procedures over management and coordination of care.
2) Reforming payments to better reflect the relative costs of different services and paying for outcomes rather than individual services could help address these issues.
3) There are several promising approaches under development, including bundled payments, patient-centered medical homes, and accountable care organizations. However, challenges remain around implementation and coordination across payers.
The document discusses various payment reform models that aim to control rising health care costs while maintaining or improving quality. It describes bundled payment, global payment, and medical home models. Bundled payment sets a single payment for all services for an episode of care. Global payment provides a set monthly fee per patient. The medical home model pays providers additional fees for care coordination capabilities. Implementation challenges include determining who oversees the payments and driving delivery system transformation. Evidence suggests these models may reduce costs but their effects on quality and access require further study.
The document discusses how the Affordable Care Act aims to address problems in the US healthcare system like the large number of uninsured, rising costs, and quality and access issues. It will expand coverage to 32 million uninsured through Medicaid expansion and health insurance exchanges. Reforms to payment and delivery systems are also expected to help slow premium growth and reduce costs over time. Implementation will occur gradually through 2019, with many provisions taking effect in 2014 such as the individual mandate, Medicaid expansion, and state-based insurance exchanges.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
