Despite President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign promises to repeal the Affordable Care Act, industry experts say value-based care initiatives will likely continue under the new White House administration.
Healthcare finance takes the spotlight
Although it’s likely that certain aspects of the ACA will change, demand for value-based care will not go away, write NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital’s Emme L. Deland, senior vice president and chief strategy officer, and Jonathan Gordon, director of NYP Ventures, in a post for NEJM Catalyst.
“At the moment, it seems likely that healthcare financing will get more attention than healthcare delivery under the new administration,” they write.
François de Brantes, executive director for the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute, agrees, writing in a separate post for NEJM Catalyst that the bipartisan Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act will help fuel the movement away from fee-for-service payments.
