Where this comes from

Abstract

Bundled or episode based payments are new reimbursement models that shift the financial incentives for providing healthcare from simple transactional volume to accountable quality, cost and outcomes. This transformation to a value-based healthcare delivery paradigm will mandate increased collaboration between multiple and diverse stakeholders. Before implementing such a program, it is incumbent upon providers to critically assess their readiness and understand the complexity of what is tantamount to a major cultural conversion.
