What about the other 50% of your Medicare spend?

Health plans and providers have invested mightily in value-based care capabilities over the last decade with a particular emphasis on primary care and reducing hospital admissions.

  • How a comprehensive value-based care strategy that extends into the acute episode of care can complement a primary care strategy
  • Sound’s lessons from managing $10 billion in at-risk spending
