From Volume to Value: ACOs and Value-based Care

From Volume to Value: ACOs and Value-based Care

The health care marketplace has always been dynamic, but with the rapid rise in alternative payment models in recent years, health care executives must understand the move from volume to value—and the opportunities that are arising from the evolving health care delivery marketplace.

From Volume to Value: ACOs and Value-based Care is a complete overhaul of our original ACO Outlook report first launched in 2014. In this extensive report, we provide key insights into the world of accountable care, bundled payments and other value-based health care delivery models. ACOs and Value-based Care is informed by primary research from November 2016 with Darwin's ACO Executive Panel, as well as trends gleaned from our earlier ACO leadership surveys.

ACOs and Value-based Care is packed with original research and insights you won't find anywhere else. See below for a detailed table of contents.

The report consists of a printed, wire-bound document plus a downloadable .pdf, 310 pages, including a 24-page executive summary and 89 figures and tables. Subscribers will receive periodic updates in .pdf format for one year from the date of purchase.

Purchasers of either a Department or Global Site License will receive a 90-minute, in-person Q&A with Darwin Health CEO John Marchica. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
