CENTURY GOAL RESEARCH
The focus of CenturyGoal is on how Providers can streamline their operating functions to accomplish: reduced costs; better collections; and improved patient health. Moreover, how Payers can support this and benefit as well.
Digitally transformed companies are much more profitable than their industry peers that have not undergone a digital transformation.
Series of articles on cross-industry rapid transformation phases from developing a common data model to prompt automation of operating functions.
There doesn’t appear to be a yellow brick road to value-based care. With so many different versions of value-based care, it seems more like numerous forks in the road that lead to many different decision paths for providers. A single destination of Emerald City does not exist in the context of value-based care.
The United States has been attempting to overcome its relatively high cost and low-quality healthcare system for many years, yet the transition to value-based care is moving at a snail’s pace. Although it will be difficult to make a meaningful transition until everyone can get on the same page and variations of payment models are simplified, there are steps that providers can take now to improve back-office processes enabled by technology that can accommodate common features across different value-based care programs.
