Value-based care is a growing national trend representing a
shift away from the historic health care model that focused on
treating individual health events to a health care system focused
on a person’s overall health and long-term well-being.
In November 2015, Humana released value-based care data
indicating that patients cared for through value-based models
generally experienced healthier outcomes and lower costs, including
fewer inpatient admissions, higher rates of preventive screenings
and higher Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set
(HEDIS) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Star
scores.
The Humana contract is one of several value-based arrangements
in which HCMC is participating. HCMC has seen early success with
its value-based efforts, including a 4 percent reduction in total
cost of care noted in the 2014 Minnesota Community Measurement’s
Total Cost of Care Report.
Through the new agreement, Humana’s population health
capabilities, including predictive analytics, chronic disease
management and wellness programs, will complement HCMC integrated
delivery system and patient-centered medical home initiatives.
Matthew Moore, President of Humana’s Central North Region, says
the goal is to return primary care physicians to the center of the
health care system.
“Value-based care creates a framework that allows primary care
physicians to spend more time with patients,” said Moore. “It gives
them the tools they need to truly manage their patients’ health,
and it aligns the health care system to focus on quality of care
delivered rather than quantity.”
Today, Humana has 1.7 million individual Medicare Advantage
members and 200,000 commercial members today who are cared for by
47,800 primary care providers, in more than 900 value-based
relationships across 43 states and Puerto Rico. For more
