PFA3 - Health Center Board Strategies to Support Quality for Value Based Payment

Session Description: In value based payment, health centers need to shift the focus from visit volume to quality of care and health outcomes. The board plays a critical role in shaping strategy and oversight of quality and financial sustainability. How does the board monitor the effectiveness of their strategies in improving quality? In value based payment models, often multiple payers require reporting on different quality measures. Understanding how each payer defines value and which quality metrics matter most can be overwhelming. This session will start with a discussion about the role of quality metrics in value based payment. Then, participants will hear what some health centers have done to ensure that they can understand how they are doing on quality metrics related to value based payment, and shape Quality Improvement strategies to ensure high quality care and financial sustainability. The session will also include an opportunity for peer sharing and discussion.
