“As value-based models continue to evolve, not only are we seeing a new level of care, but also a pressure to drive down costs and an increased focus on preventative care management,” said Jason Krantz, CEO of Definitive Healthcare. “As of 2019, only 56% of U.S. hospitals are participating in value-based purchasing. As these programs become more widespread, providers will need to benchmark their performance in order to remain competitive. This survey shows that having the right resources – staffing, compensation, IT and software – will be key to the success of value-based programs. At Definitive Healthcare, we are focused on providing our customers with the performance data and key insights necessary to successfully implement value-based care programs and improve existing strategies.”
