In this course, we discuss approaches to and challenges of defining and measuring value in health care. We will discuss the centrality of payment structure and incentive design to determining quality, costs, and value. We will then explore new contracting models and payment approaches intended to incentivize value-driven health care including accountable care organizations, payment bundling, and patient-centered medical homes. We will cover new models of health care delivery and assess their value propositions. This course will cover issues across the health care delivery spectrum including inpatient, outpatient, and prescription drug markets. Particular focus will be placed on the tradeoffs between efficiency and equity in the pursuit of value, the role of big data and technology in facilitating new value-driven initiatives, the importance of evaluation and evidence-based decision-making, and the effect of secular trends including aging demographics and consolidation and common ownership across the health care system. Background knowledge in heath care is useful.
