Value-based Payment to Support Health Equity

To help hospitals on their journey to value, the American Hospital Association’s The Value Initiative has been virtually convening leaders from diverse hospital types and locations to discuss opportunities and challenges in implementing value-based payment models. Over a series of meetings, the Insights on the Transition to Value group is exploring what it will take for hospitals to enter and thrive in value-based payment contracts. Based on these discussions, the AHA is developing additional resources to help hospitals develop the skills and capabilities to take on value-based payment.

The February 2022 series focused on using value-based payment to improve health equity and featured a conversation among two experts in the field: Amol Navathe, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor, medical ethics and health policy, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Mai Pham, M.D., MPH, president and CEO, Institute for Exceptional Care.
