250: VBC success is possible. Here's how Advocate Health does it.
Manage episode 482386451 series 2762568
Believe it or not, 60% of healthcare payments in the US are tied to value. But it’s still surprisingly hard to find examples of health systems that have been doing VBC at scale, successfully, over time. So that’s what Advisory Board researchers set out to do. And across 66 conversations with 44 systems, we found four systems with approaches worth emulating. This week, we’re unpacking the approach at one of those systems: Advocate Health.
Host Abby Burns sits down with Don Calcagno, Chief Population Health Officer and President of Advocate’s largest clinically integrated network, Advocate Physician Partners. Don lays out how putting operations at the center has led Advocate to become one of the top-performing systems in Medicare risk models, generate millions of dollars in savings, and, most importantly, improve quality of care. Not to mention, juggle over 100 VBC contracts across 13 accountable care organizations and clinically integrated networks, and carry $1 billion in capitated risk.
