Value-Based Care: The Only Way Forward? with Brian Fuller
This episode of Foresight Radio explores the concept of Value-Based Care (VBC) and why it's a hot topic in healthcare and senior living. Guest Brian Fuller, explains how VBC is shifting healthcare from a fee-for-service model to an outcome-driven approach focused on both cost and quality. He highlights that accountability is at the core of VBC, meaning organizations must take ownership of patient outcomes and financial risk. The episode covers: ✅ VBC = Accountability – Organizations are responsible for both quality of care and cost management. ✅ Three Core Models of VBC: 1️⃣ ACOs – Full accountability for a patient population. 2️⃣ Episodes of Care – Managing costs within a set timeframe. 3️⃣ SNPs – Specialized Medicare Advantage plans for high-need groups. ✅ Why is VBC a Hot Topic Now? The aging population is moving into higher-risk categories (75+ and 85+). Healthcare costs are growing at an unsustainable rate. VBC is the only bipartisan-backed solution to improve care and reduce costs. ✅ Senior Living’s Role in VBC Senior living is shifting from hospitality to healthcare. Residents expect integrated, whole-person care. Providers must start engaging in VBC strategies now to stay relevant. ✅ Getting Started with VBC Understand your market and unique opportunities. Invest in data, analytics, and care models. Plan for scalability and long-term success. Is your organization ready to embrace Value-Based Care?
