Traditionally healthcare has been delivered in a fee-for-service model that placed emphasis on services delivered over the quality of care provided.  Quantity over quality of service has resulted in rising healthcare costs in the United States with negative healthcare outcomes.

Due to the rising costs of healthcare, value-based care has increasingly become important in the delivery of healthcare in the United States. Not only does value-based care control costs through the practice of high-quality care, its primary objective is dedicated to improving patient outcomes and enhancing patient safety.

Dr. Salvatore Volpe provides an overview of value-based care, its benefits, common physician payment models, and strategies as to how physicians can make value-based care work for them.
