AI Looks to Add the Value in Value-Based Care in 2024

The healthcare landscape is transforming, with artificial intelligence (AI) playing a pivotal role in advancing value-based care in 2024. Precision medicine, a cornerstone of VBC (value-based care), is being scaled up through innovative technologies, enabling healthcare delivery organizations to provide more individualized care by analyzing detailed aspects of a person’s health and environment. Despite the growing trends in AI and VBC, challenges such as scalability and large-scale adoption remain, highlighting the need for more robust data management systems and predictive analytics. Startups like Guidehealth are making significant strides, acquiring divisions like Arcadia’s value-based care service to enhance predictive and generative AI technologies, aiming to improve provider performance in risk-based contracts. As the healthcare industry navigates the post-Covid-19 landscape, AI’s responsible and augmented use in clinical decision-making and patient care prioritization is becoming increasingly crucial.

How can AI effectively support the transition to and optimization of value-based care in 2024?

The recent Experts Talk roundtable, hosted by David Kemp, MarketScale Healthcare Lead, tackles this critical subject.
