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 the implications
of the changes.
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 the 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?
