Volume to Value in Healthcare
Not what you're looking for?
Consider the impact of the transition from volume- to value-based health care delivery in your organization or one with which you are familiar.
Potential transitions to consider may be examples such as the shift from inpatient to ambulatory care, the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) initiative, or the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) initiative.
With this in mind, read the Porter and Lee article published in the Harvard Business Review, and compare their strategic proposal with the transition you are considering.
Describe the nature of the transition in the organization. Discuss and assess how this transition affected operations, based on the organization's operational resources and limitations. How did the organization respond to the changes? Was the response effective? How does the IPU approach compare to the transition response? Justify your conclusion.

These include diagnosis, observation, consultation, treatment, intervention, and rehabilitation services. There is greater use of outpatient services for diabetes or chronic asthma.
