Episode 125: Value Based Care Provides Neither Value Nor Care with Dr. Eric Bricker

Health care, according to today’s guest Dr. Eric Bricker, is filled with euphemisms. One you hear a lot is value based care. The claim is that we need to restructure insurance plans to reward health systems that provide care focused on outcomes instead of activity. Conceptually, it makes a lot of sense that you would reward the people providing superior outcomes with better pay. Unfortunately, this scheme has been tried before and failed. It’s unlikely the outcome will be any different this time around.
