The industry-wide movement from volume- to value-based care and alternative payment models will require organizations to find new ways to increase productivity.
“Increasing productivity is a survival skill in healthcare today,” writes healthcare futurist Joe Flower in a post for Hospitals & Health Networks. “We will not find the huge increases in productivity that we need by doing what we do now and just doing it incrementally more efficiently. We have to find productivity in a changed payment system that allows us to drop wasteful practices and streamline the workflows that are left.”
