Mara McDermott on What's Next for the Value Based Care Coalition

Podcast

Next Gen ACO recently re-branded as the Value Based Care Coalition. To learn more about the organization's new phase, we spoke with executive director Mara McDermott.

In addition to shining a light on health disparities, medical misinformation, and public health infrastructure, the COVID-19 pandemic has also propelled calls for the transition to value-based care in the United States.

To discuss this topic, among others, we sat down with Mara McDermott, the executive director of the Value Based Care Coalition, formerly known as the Next Gen ACO Coalition.

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, McDermott discusses the organization’s recent re-brand, how its goals align with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation’s strategic refresh, and the future of value-based care.
