One could make the argument that there are four situational categories under which all health systems now fall on the journey toward more value-based care and away from the fee-for-service model. Assisting health systems in successfully transitioning to value-based care and delivering improved clinical and financial outcomes for their patient populations depends on very different approaches depending on where they fall on the spectrum. Appreciating these differences is critical to understanding how to approach each group of health systems when articulating value to achieve high-quality clinical and financial outcomes.
