The state Health Care Authority (HCA) has produced a revised
Value-based Roadmap to set the stage for
health care transformation in 2018. The Roadmap describes HCA’s value-based
purchasing (VBP) goals, delivery system transformation strategies, innovation
successes to-date, and future plans to accelerate broad transition into
value-based payment models.
The Roadmap is built upon several principles that are key to
achieving better health, better care, and lower costs, including:
- Rewarding the delivery of patient-centered, high
value care
- Improving quality outcomes and patient
experience
- Aligning payment and delivery reform approaches
with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where appropriate, for
greatest impact and to simplify implementation for providers
- Increasing the long-term financial
sustainability of state health programs
The Roadmap includes appendices on ways the VBP strategies
have been applied to Washington Apple Health (Medicaid) and purchasing for
public employees benefits. Read the Roadmap and appendices on the Healthier
Washington Paying
for Value web page.
Webinar series explores success with payment models
The HCA is eager to continue engaging with partners across
the state on achieving these objectives. To support awareness and dialogue, HCA
will launch a comprehensive VBP webinar series beginning January 31.
