Navigating to Value-Based Outcomes - Thom Walsh - Bog

Payment reform efforts will be a mainstay of healthcare delivery so long as our societal spending on care is high while our outcomes are inconsistent or middling. To thrive - financially, individually, and collectively as care delivery units - we must be able to demonstrate to ourselves and for others, the value of the outcomes we produce. While it is true that you can't improve what you don't measure, it is also true that you can't act on measurements you don't understand. Every healthcare system, form a single provider office up to a national chain, has to bridge administrative and clinical workflows to create better, more meaningful, outcomes for each patient. Learn to rebuild an organization with tools you already have in your practice now to listen to your patients and create a system to empower patients and staff alike.
Create an environment where outcomes are:- measured in a meaningful way
- evaluated based on both the patient and the practice's needs
- acted upon to strengthen both the practice's community and bottom line.
