Overview
Value-based care is a healthcare delivery model in which providers, including hospitals and physicians, are paid on the basis of
pa!ent health outcomes. Value-based care includes three key goals: improved popula!on health, increased pa!ent
sa!sfac!on, and reduced cost. Each of these goals affects the stakeholders differently. For example, value-based care aims to
lower costs across the board, which would result in the insurance companies having to pay lower reimbursements. If
insurance companies incur lower costs, they are less likely to raise premiums and deduc!bles.
Before you begin working on the assignment, review the module learning resources. These resources will help you with
addi!onal guidance to complete this assignment.
In this assignment, you will choose two acute care hospitals in your state. Do not select cri!cal access hospitals for
compara!ve analysis. Because cri!cal access hospitals are exempted from sharing informa!on with the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS), you may not get enough informa!on about these hospitals for comparison. You will compare
the selected hospitals on the basis of various quality metrics defined by the CMS. Then, you will conduct a compara!ve
analysis of both the hospitals using specific quality metrics: pa!ent survey ra!ngs, complica!ons, and death rates and
unplanned hospital visits. This analysis will help you understand how value-based care and quality metrics in healthcare
impact stakeholders. Also, this assignment will help you understand how stakeholders influence the decision-making process
in healthcare.
