Healthcare delivery is undergoing a significant shift towards value-based care models. These models prioritize positive health outcomes and cost-effectiveness, unlike the previous focus on the quantity of services provided The success of these models heavily relies on patient engagement, a critical component that ensures patients actively participate in managing their health. This shift is increasingly important as healthcare systems strive to achieve better health outcomes while also controlling costs.

With advanced data and technology fueling patient engagement strategies, how can healthcare providers optimize this engagement within value-based care models to maximize both patient outcomes and operational efficiency?

Brent Smith, healthcare benefits and wellbeing enthusiast and Vice President of National Account Sales at Anthem Inc. provides expert insight into the effective implementation of patient engagement strategies within VBC frameworks. Utilizing Anthem’s innovative Health Operating System (HealthOS), Dr. Smith outlines how the integration of comprehensive data analysis and strategic information sharing between healthcare providers and patients can lead to improved health management and care outcomes.
