Why value-based care works

Value-based care focuses on collaboration and coordination to benefit healthcare providers and their patients. In addition to streamlining processes, a value-based care model contributes to building a more flexible healthcare system. Read more about value-based care in the Humana Value-based Care Report.

Value-based care physicians have seen significant member growth year over year. 1,016,913 value-based individual members were gained between Jan. 1, 2016 and Dec. 31, 2020.

Benefits of a value-based healthcare practice

Better patient engagement

According to Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS), value-based providers conducted 8–20% more screenings throughout 2020.1

Higher patient satisfaction

Humana individual Medicare Advantage members put more trust in value-based physicians, ranking them 10% higher in patient satisfaction, according to internal surveys.2

Agile care model

At the height of COVID-19 disruptions, healthcare providers in value-based agreements reported being able to pivot quickly because of their focus on patient outcomes rather than on volume of services.3

Real-time patient data

Humana contracted value-based physicians use intelligence to proactively address patient needs within the native electronic health record (EHR) workflows, closing gaps and helping patients stay on track with their health.4
