State seeing shift toward value-based health care purchasing

Webinar series outlines successes in new programs

The Healthier Washington Paying for Value webinar series launched Jan. 31 with a report on a survey of health care payers that are participating in value-based payment (VBP) models. If you missed the webinar, which included an update on the Health Care Authority’s Value-based Roadmap, you can listen to the recording recently posted on the Healthier Washington website.

The webinar series continues Wednesday, February 14, noon to 1 p.m., with lessons learned on the HCA’s first Centers of Excellence program.
