In the past 24 hours, recent developments reinforced the centrality of streamlined care coordination and referrals for advancing value-based models, with payers like Humana leveraging pharmacists to improve chronic care outcomes by integrating medication management into care teams, and Providence deploying a “holistic” approach across its system to tighten coordination and close gaps in value-based care delivery. Policy activity remains focused on enhancing interoperability and innovative care transitions—exemplified by HHS’s $4M KidneyX Empower Prize Challenge, which targets improved kidney care coordination and data sharing to reduce cost and boost transplant rates in Medicare populations. These initiatives spotlight escalating demand for multidisciplinary collaboration and technology-driven pathways to achieve VBC targets.
