It’s not surprise that the interest in value-based reimbursement (VBR) models are growing. Five healthcare organizations recently released their own progress reports on VBRs. For hospitals, health systems, and physician practices, these reports provide helpful guidance for how to adjust to the rise in reimbursement models.

1. Nearly 60 percent of payments to providers are performance-based
2. Nearly half of primary care physicians are actively pursuing value-based reimbursement contracts
3. New skill sets and capabilities are needed to effectively manage risk under VBR models

5. Physician participation in value-based care delivery models varies by practice type
