Health care reform is changing the delivery and financing of care, creating a shift from volume-based, fee-for-service care, to value-based care focused on efficiency
and quality. This shift has led to changes in health insurance and health care delivery markets. For this Discussion, you examine this volume to value shift and
consider implications of the changes.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Analyze the current economic shift from volume-based health care to value-based health care. What economic principles (macro and micro) are driving this shift?
Evaluate implications of this volume to value shift. How has this shift affected how you work or how you or a family member has been treated for a medical condition?
write a cohesive response to the following:
Analyze economic principles that are driving the shift from volume-based health care to value-based health care. Then, evaluate implications of this volume to value
shift. Provide an example of how this shift has affected how you work or how you or a family member has been treated for a medical condition.
