VBP Resource Catalog

The Health Care Authority (HCA), in partnership with Manatt, has released a Value-based Purchasing (VBP) Resource Catalog.  The purpose of this resource is to connect partners to available VBP visioning documents, technical assistance, and other relevant information.  The HCA says this is a starting point and foundational set of resources, especially for providers who have been less engaged in VBP discussions to-date.  This is not meant to replace other VBP support mechanisms and resources but may inform future efforts.

Letter to Health Care Authority on Value Based Roadmap

Payment system reform is complicated, and we are so impressed with the hard work and energy the Health Care Authority has put into the Value-Based Roadmap. However, there are a few elements of this framework that raised some red flags for us. 

We took some time to write HCA a letter detailing some of our concerns. Give it a read here

The Health Care Authority then followed up with this letter as a response. We appreciate their thoughtful response, and willingness to hear our concerns and work together.
