Value-based care for primary care practices
aledade.com (opens in a new tab)Aledade works with independent primary care practices, health centres and clinics to help them succeed under value-based care. Founded in 2014, it has grown into the largest network of independent primary care in the United States. It creates value-based contracts across a wide range of health plans, which inverts the traditional fee-for-service model: instead of paying physicians for the volume of appointments and procedures, the arrangement pays them for keeping patients healthy. That strengthens continuity of care and aligns the incentives of practices, health plans and patients around the same outcome.
