Value-based care (VBC) is a critical component of every health care organization’s short- and long-term strategy. With a focus on quality and efficiency over quantity, VBC seems like an obvious approach to improving outcomes and lowering costs. On the surface, VBC may sound easy; in reality, VBC is complex and needs to solve for challenges that plague our communities. Challenges like how to make people healthier, how to get people more engaged in their health, and how to make health care more affordable. 

As part of Highmark's Population Health University, we offer this five-part series on VBC. Throughout this series, you will hear from various Highmark leaders as they discuss VBC actions and strategies to drive transformation and tackle health care’s most fundamental problems: improving health and patients’ experience, better supporting the physicians, and reducing the spiraling upward costs of health care.
