Healthcare is entering a defining moment. The shift from fee-for-service to value-based care is no longer optional – it is becoming the dominant operating model for hospitals, health systems, and healthcare finance teams. New Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) mandates, rising cost pressures, and heightened financial scrutiny are forcing organizations to rethink how they deliver care, manage risk, and measure performance.
This Industry Pulse brings together insights from Crowe, MedCity News, and Inc. to examine how value-based care is reshaping clinical operations, post-acute care management, employer economics, and financial reporting expectations. From CMS’ Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) to the growing role of employers in healthcare cost control, the articles highlight why accountability, data transparency, and audit readiness are now strategic imperatives.
Together, these insights show why hospitals and healthcare finance leaders must evolve now to succeed in a value-driven healthcare environment.
