Value-Based Payment and Health Care System Preparedness and Resilience

Over the past 20 years, Medicare and many private payers have transitioned to policies known collectively as value based purchasing (VBP). The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on health, health care, the economy, and our daily lives over the past 15 months. This report identifies lessons learned from this experience and uses them to consider how future disaster preparedness, response, and resilience (PRR) might be incorporated as we move forward with VBP policies.
