Value-based care is accelerating. Learn how hospitals and finance teams can adapt to new risk models, audit demands, and financial accountability.

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.

Inside this Industry Pulse, you’ll explore:

  • How CMS’ TEAM model is pushing hospitals into mandatory risk-bearing arrangements that impact revenue, care coordination, and post-acute partnerships
  • Why value-based care is gaining momentum with employers, payers, and policymakers–and how it changes the economics of healthcare delivery
  • What healthcare organizations must do to prepare for increased financial scrutiny, first-time audits, and more complex regulatory requirements

Together, these insights show why hospitals and healthcare finance leaders must evolve now to succeed in a value-driven healthcare environment.
