New Report Details Home Healthcare Providers' Thoughts on Value-Based Care
Providers share that value-based care is becoming increasingly prevalent in the sector
June 3, 2022 – Over 200 home-based care professionals were polled on their thoughts about value-based care and the impact it will have on the home health industry. The survey, conducted by Home Health Care News (HHCN) and AlayaCare, is an attempt to get a better insight into how providers feel about the shift and how they are navigating the transition to value-based care.
Throughout the study, providers were asked how they are adjusting to the national rollout of the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Program, preparing for an increased volume of value-based contracts, and if or how they are finding success with value-based care.
Home Healthcare Providers See Shift to Value-Based Care Coming
While nearly 75% of providers reported that value-based contracts currently account for very little or less than half of their current revenue, that number drops to 35% looking forward to the next 3 to 5 years.
In fact, over 50% of providers state that at least half of their organization’s revenue will be accounted for by value-based models in the next 3 to 5 years. When asked on a scale of 0 to 10, what level of financial impact value-based care will have on the home-based care industry, the average answer was just shy of 7.
These answers show that providers know value-based payments are here to stay and that they will need to shift their practices accordingly to accommodate.
