Why Our Multi-Payor System Frustrates Delivery System Reform and What to Do About It
In an effort to nudge health care providers toward integrated care delivery models, payors have experimented with alternative payment approaches that reward providers who deliver high quality, efficient care. Unfortunately, widespread experimentation with alternative payment approaches is itself an obstacle to delivery system reform. Professor Mantel will explain why our multi-payor system complicates providers’ efforts to shift to integrated care delivery models. She will then discuss efforts to harmonize the payment approaches adopted across public and private payors, and how these multi-payor alignment initiatives can be made more effective.
