Value-based care report
Value-based care drives outcomes
Outcomes largely define quality, and our Value-Based Care (VBC) report is proof of that. Healthier people rely less on emergency room visits and spend considerably fewer days in hospitals.

Increased interactions with their patients helped value-based primary care physicians reduce avoidable hospitalizations.
Humana Medicare Advantage (MA) value-based physicians saw their patients admitted to a hospital 7.1% less than non-value-based physicians, saving 50,000 admissions.
A full star difference in the average patient safety rating of 3.8 for VBC providers vs. 2.8 for non-VBC providers.
Value-based physicians saw their patients visit an emergency room 12.7% less than non-value-based physicians, saving 146,000 visits.
