The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) has unveiled a new strategy designed to foster equitable patient outcomes through “high-quality, affordable, person-centered care.” The approach is oriented around five key objectives that will guide its future payment models and priorities, including expansion of payment models designed to reduce health care costs and improve quality — the twin aims of value-based care initiatives.
“The health system must recognize and meet people’s medical needs by considering their preferences, values, and circumstances, should strive to keep people healthy and independent, and help providers coordinate care seamlessly and holistically across settings in a manner that puts people at the center of their own care,” CMMI said in a document outlining its new strategy.
