The healthcare industry has been shifting from fee-for-service to value-based care and payment for decades now with not much to show for it as a whole. How can employers and other healthcare purchasers achieve value amid soaring costs and worsening disease burden?

Featuring: Shawn Gremminger, president and CEO of the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions

In today's episode, we will cover:

• Why the current definition and implementation of value-based care in healthcare isn't working effectively, and a major rethinking is needed to create a truly value-driven system.

• The core challenges employers face in achieving value-based care, especially around data access, price transparency and practical strategies.

• Strategies for achieving higher quality, affordable care, such as narrow network design, increased pricing data access and direct contracting.
