What are some potential strategies for aligning incentives across the entire healthcare system during the shift to value-based care?
I think one of the most important things you can do to align healthcare strategies is to allow your clinicians to be part of that journey. Get your physicians, your nurses, your pharmacists, everybody involved upfront so they can recognize the connection to the care and they can help you understand what you should be doing. The other thing is to make sure your leaders are aligned. As you think about budgets and operating margins, everyone has to first think, “How am I going to give the best care to the patients at the most affordable costs?” If you can get your leaders aligned to that, then they’ll make choices that are aligned with what you want to do as an organization. I think leading with your clinicians and getting all your leaders on board so you’re all moving in the same direction. Keeping your patient or your member at the front is really how you get there.
