April 1: Coordination, Not Competition: Achieving Value-Based Care Through Shared Governance with Jessica Mantel

Jessica Mantel
Title:
Coordination, Not Competition: Achieving Value-Based Care Through Shared Governance with Jessica Mantel
Description:
Value-based payment (VBP) aims to transform healthcare by incentivizing providers to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs through better care coordination, preventive strategies, and increased efficiency. Yet VBPs have struggled to deliver on their promise. 
Attorney Jessica Lind Mantel will discuss a key reason for this limited progress – a regulatory framework that relies on market forces and grants payers significant autonomy in designing and implementing VBP models. This decentralized, bottoms-up approach leads to misaligned payment policies that create barriers for providers seeking to redesign how they care for patients. 
Mantel advocates for an alternative approach: value-based governance. This model emphasizes collaboration among government agencies, payers, providers, patient advocates, and other stakeholders, replacing fragmented, market decision-making with coordinated public-private efforts that foster payment alignment. Value-based governance can address other systemic challenges to health reform by advancing technical assistance programs that support providers transitioning to value-based care, improving health data-sharing infrastructures, and promoting a workforce equipped to deliver value-based care. Through shared responsibility for policy outcomes and horizontal coordination across the public and private sectors, value-based governance offers a pathway to successfully transforming the healthcare delivery system.
