MARCH 27: The Value-Based Health Care Business Model

Featuring Thomas Lee, chief medical officer of Press Ganey Associates.

The shift from volume-based to value-based healthcare is inevitable, but the shift cuts into short-term profits. In Dr. Lee’s presentation, “The Value-Based Health Care Business Model,” you will learn how innovative providers are achieving long-term success despite the short-term financial pain.

Dr. Lee will look at how these providers are:

  • Boosting quality of care
  • Improving long-term value instead of short-term profit
  • Redesigning care for all patients
  • Acting now to achieve value-based care

To hear the business case for providing value-based care and glean practical, real-world examples of organizations embarking on strategies that produce value, register for Dr. Lee’s presentation.
