Will Value-based Care Save the Health Care System?

Description

Value-based health care is one of the most pressing topics in health care finance and policy today. Value-based payment structures are widely touted as critical to controlling runaway health care costs, but are often difficult for health care entities to incorporate into their existing infrastructures. Because value-based health care initiatives have bipartisan support, it is likely that these programs will continue to play a major role in both the public and private health insurance systems. As such, there is a pressing need to evaluate the implementation of these initiatives thus far and to discuss the direction that American health care financing will take in the coming years.

To explore this important issue, the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School collaborated with Ropes & Gray LLP to host a one-day conference on value-based health care. This event brought together scholars, health law practitioners, and health care entities to evaluate the impact of value-based health care on the American health care system.

This event was free and open to the public.
