U.S. health care mediocre across the board: Rich or poor, black or white, Americans get equally shoddy treatmentAssociated Press (March 15, 2006)
Overall, patients received only 55 percent of recommended steps for top-quality care — and no group did much better or worse than that.
We also have a Quality Problem.

Where’s the Value?
Part 2.Value-Based Purchasing – a
Difficult but Promising Solution

“You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.” Winston Churchill
11
What is Value-Based Purchasing? The concept of value-based purchasing is that buyers should hold providers
of health care accountable for both cost and quality of care. Value-based purchasing brings together information on the quality of health care, including patient outcomes and health status, with data on the dollar outlays going towards health. It focuses on managing the use of the health care system to reduce inappropriate care and to identify and reward the best-performing providers.
This strategy can be contrasted with more limited efforts to negotiate price discounts, which reduce costs but do little to ensure that quality of care is improved.

What is Value-Based Purchasing? (continued)
The key elements of value-based purchasing include: Contracts spelling out the responsibilities of purchasers with selected
insurance, managed care, and hospital/physician groups as suppliers. Information to support the management of purchasing activities. Quality management to drive continuous improvements in the
process of health care purchasing and delivery of health care services.
Incentives to encourage and reward desired practices by providers and consumers.
Education to help beneficiaries become better heath care consumers.

VBP from a Physician Perspective
Problem “…physicians who want to improve quality of care find that
payment systems often do not provide them with the resources or flexibility needed to do so.”
Solution “ Linking a portion of payments to valid measures of quality
and effective use of resources would give physicians more direct incentives to implement the innovative ideas and approaches that actually result in improvements…”
Source: Mark McClellan, M.D., Ph. D., former CMS Administrator in testimony before House Committee on Ways and Means (July 21, 2005)
What we know…
Health care quality is improving but the quality chasm is still very wide and more money for more services is not the solution…
…but more money for the right services will help accelerate improvement.

Lessons Learned to Date
Value is “relative” The system is not “zero-sum” – at least 30% of health care spending
is wasteful. VBP puts dollars where they create the most value. Provider involvement on the front-end is necessary Carrots work better than sticks Incentives are not “free money” but compensate providers for value-
added services necessary to appropriately manage care. People do not live in the aggregate (“tyranny of the many”). This can
be addressed either on the front end with appropriate measurement or balanced with the use of outcome measures.
Consistency with Patient-centered care is important
21
Lessons Learned to Date Data and rewards should be timely and accurate. Balanced and robust measure sets are helpful. Providers prefer fixed targets and fixed rewards. Finding “medical homes” for patients is very important. “Value Exchanges” and other team approaches improve data and
reduce provider burden. And finally, VBP is only ONE tool in the quality and efficiency
toolbox. VBP complements but does not replace focus on good coverage and benefit policy.
