Transforming the Healthcare Payment Model

The healthcare sector in the United States is shifting from outdated payment models to a new framework that emphasizes quality over quantity. This approach, known as Accountable Care, focuses on improving patient outcomes and expanding access to care. By incentivizing providers to deliver high-quality care rather than just performing more procedures, the system aims to enhance patient satisfaction and public health. Organizations like Accountable for Health are advocating for this transformation, working closely with policymakers to facilitate these changes.
