Designing Care That Works: Smarter Models for Value-Based Care

Putting a price on care has never been easy. Value-based care is increasingly shaping how healthcare providers get paid, as traditional models like fee-for-service are declining. Today, 90% of healthcare providers are in a value-based care payment arrangement, but as this model gains momentum, the need for innovation to drive its potential to empower patients and improve outcomes has become acute. In this episode, host Dr. Scott Sigman sits down with Dr. Kevin Bozic to define value-based care and uncover how it’s evolving. As Chair of Surgery and Perioperative Care at Dell Medical School and the Past President of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Dr. Bozic shares why traditional systems are falling short and what it means to define and deliver value in care. Together, they dive into the new condition-based payment model Dr. Bozic’s team has developed, how it redirects clinical conversations toward patient goals, and why it’s already leading to reduced surgeries and better patient outcomes. They also unpack how these models can drive financial sustainability, improve patient relationships, reduce turnover, and boost margins. Dr. Bozic closes with a powerful message for healthcare professionals to be the change they want to see, as holding on to outdated models is no longer an option.
