Value-based care is creating dynamic change in the US health care system. For the past 20 years, Medicare, Medicaid, and health insurers have moved steadily toward performance-based payment models for providers and health plans. These trends have motivated doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers to organize into integrated delivery systems, both to improve their negotiating power and improve their population health management capability.

These changes are also creating new market demands for life sciences companies. To thrive in a value-based care market, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers must adapt to new customer priorities and requirements. In response to these market changes and based on our experiences with our clients, Discern Health has built a framework to support both internal change and external engagement that drives success for life sciences organizations in a value-based market environment.
