Inside Health Policy: 'Patient Groups Seek Key Role In Health Care Payment Learning And Action Network'

5/6/2015

As highlighted in an article in Inside Health Policy, "more than 60 patient groups and members of [PIPC] are asking HHS to make the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network patient-centered by including patient groups in the network and using best practices from the FDA and Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to solicit patient engagement with the initiative." While most patient stakeholders agree that paying for “value” rather than “volume” will result in better outcomes for patients, the shift to value-based payment holds significant implications for the patient-centeredness movement and the related issues of patient access and the physician-patient relationship. That’s why PIPC led this letter - to ensure that that patients have a seat at the table in determining how these new payment models are implemented.

“I look forward to collaborating with HHS to effectively bring the patient voice to their ambitious new framework to move our health care system away from rewarding health providers for the quantity of care they provide and toward rewarding quality. Empowering patients to play an active role in their healthcare should be a strategic and achievable goal of this important work,” Partnership chair Tony Coelho told Inside Health Policy.
