Contributors Prioritize Quality Care, Not Lower Healthcare Prices

A recent study discovered that one third of healthcare contributors think it is unfair to hope physicians to give quality care while simultaneously decreasing the healthcare costs.

By now, many healthcare contributors are partaking in some type of value-based care, which targets to foster quality care while reducing healthcare costs. To achieve this, value-based care relies on care coordination to decrease unessential treatments and hospital admissions.

However, many healthcare agencies are wondering who should be responsible for managing financial stewardships that discourage overuse of services and boost value-based care.

A recent study in the American Journal of Managed Care found that a little over one third of healthcare contributors at a major ambulatory care provider in Massachusetts reported that it was unfair to hope physicians to be cost-conscious and focus on patient welfare.
