A New Dawn in Medicine: The Intersection of AI and Value-Based Care Could Reduce Costs, Increase Access

Artificial intelligence, when combined with value-based care models, is transforming healthcare delivery by helping providers reduce costs and expand patient access. The convergence of these two approaches may incentivize quality outcomes over service volume, creating a more sustainable and equitable healthcare system. This shift represents a significant opportunity for providers, payers, and patients alike.

In the evolving landscape of healthcare, the intersection of AI and value-based care has emerged as a pivotal strategy to enhance patient outcomes, reduce costs, and support healthcare professionals. This approach, emphasizing the quadruple aim of better access, lower costs, higher quality, and workforce support, is increasingly relevant in today’s high-stress healthcare environments.

Geoffrey Roche, industry lead at a national healthcare practice and co-host of the Holistic Leadership podcast, provided an insightful analysis of the transformative potential at the intersection of AI and value-based care. Roche, who boasts 15 years of experience as a hospital administrator, underscored the pivotal role of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence in enhancing this approach. Furthermore, he emphasized the critical need to address healthcare disparities across various settings — rural, urban, and suburban — advocating for equitable care throughout all areas of the healthcare system.

“Yes, AI can have a great impact to further advance and support value-based care, specifically if we’re leveraging it in a way to further reduce those costs, enhance efficiencies within the system, and again, use the AI to contribute in advance to the quadruple aim,” Roche said.

July partnerships show hospitals aligning without ownership change

July partnerships show hospitals aligning without ownership change

A July McDermott Will & Schulte analysis and four July partnership announcements tracked by Becker’s Hospital Review point to affiliation models that stop short of mergers. St. Christopher’s signed a nonbinding letter of intent with Nemours, Jefferson and Temple; Palomar UC San Diego Health began operating July 1 under a joint powers authority. Several announcements explicitly rule out ownership change, shifting the work to contracts covering governance and other terms.

  • 01In an alliance, the contract does the integrating that an org chart does in a merger: McDermott Will & Schulte says governance design, exclusivity, antitrust review, community commitments and exit rights all have to be settled before signing.
  • 02Purchasing is now explicitly on the table in at least one no-ownership deal, the St. Peter's Health and Billings Clinic-Logan Health talks in Montana, which means shared supply contracts can arrive without a change of control.

Eye telemedicine hits limits without home retinal imaging

Eye telemedicine hits limits without home retinal imaging

An Ophthalmology Times commentary by T.Y. Alvin Liu, Ferdinand Hui and Phillip Phan sorts eye patients into three telemedicine tiers by clinical need. Patients needing regular OCT scans benefit less unless a home device can send the image. Video tools already sit inside Epic and Cerner; the deciding purchase for retina clinics is the imaging device in the patient's living room.

  • 01The dividing line for eye telemedicine is imaging, not video: patients who need regular OCT scans benefit less from remote visits unless a device at home can send the scan, so a video license alone shifts few of those encounters.
  • 02The provider-side requirement, a HIPAA-compliant secured video platform, was already built into Epic and Cerner by 2020; the patient-side requirements (1.5 MB up and down bandwidth, a quiet private room, comfort with the technology) sit outside the health system's control and are the ones worth screening for at scheduling.
  • 03Self-administered home color fundus photography for tracking non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy was named as the nearer route into retina telemedicine; home OCT for wet AMD is the harder gate and the device to watch.

Value-based care reaches a quarter of revenue at 30% of surveyed health organizations

Value-based care reaches a quarter of revenue at 30% of surveyed health organizations

Wolters Kluwer Health argues value-based care software is judged on whether customers hit incentive thresholds and avoid penalties. A Fierce Healthcare-reported survey it cites puts value-based care at a quarter or more of revenue for 30% of organizations. The analysis is a vendor publication that ends by pitching its own UpToDate Connect API.

  • 01The sharper question for any population health or care coordination platform is whether it changes what a clinician does at the moment of decision, or only reports afterward what happened. Wolters Kluwer's reading of the evidence is that many platforms still struggle with the first.
  • 02Vendors selling into value-based contracts now face a build-or-license decision on clinical content, because Wolters Kluwer names current, trusted content, consistent clinician adoption across sites, and a traceable link from guidance to quality metrics as the three hard problems.
