Navigating to Value in Healthcare (Paperback)

Leaders of healthcare delivery organizations must make the transition from volume- to value-based payment arrangements, which means transforming their organizations based on what patients truly value. While some pioneering health systems are well into the transition, most organizations are not, but need to be there soon in order to survive in the new payment environment.

The key is being able to identify essential information about outcomes that matter to patients and the costs associated with achieving those outcomes. Where data already exist, many healthcare leaders don't know how to find, retrieve, organize and leverage them for their needs.

Navigating to Value in Healthcare author Thom Walsh, PhD, creates an antidote for this situation. You'll learn how to create systems and processes that help to leverage data and propel your organization's transition to value-based care without being overwhelmed by this data.

You'll find valuable details on issues such as:

• Using patient-reported measures to capture data that matter to patients
• Integrating behavioral healthcare, implementing shared decision making and improving the patient experience
• Employing fast and frugal cost-allocation techniques
• Harnessing variation to spark process improvement
• Evaluating the effectiveness of transformation efforts in the real world
• Creating a governance and oversight structure to promote rapid organizational learning
• Identifying the patients with the greatest ability to improve
