Efforts to address the unsustainable trajectory of the current U.S. healthcare system continue to accelerate. But physicians still want—and need—to know how the promises of these “value” initiatives compare to the reality for their practices and, ultimately, their patients. Reaching the Potential of Value-Based Care series from the American Medical Association provides real-world insights from experts in advancing value in healthcare to improve quality and promote cost-effective care for patients.

To help bridge this gap in care, Drs. Donald Meyer and Travis Mickelson helped lead the implementation of a more integrative approach to behavioral health services within their organizations and are now sharing the benefits and challenges that came along with it.

Despite increasing levels of burden, physicians remain supportive of efforts that improve patient care. At least for now. As the move to value intensifies, it will be even more important for physicians to have access to avenues that encourage changes they consider valuable.
This episode featuring Dr. Griffin Myers of Oak Street Health, a network of primary care practices for adults on Medicare, and Dr. Spivak from the Mount Auburn Cambridge Independent Practice Association (MACIPA), a physician membership organization, explore their experience working in the Medicare Advantage (MA) space. Topics of discussion include if and how MA has altered physician practices, the challenges clinicians have encountered, and its impact on patient outcomes and practice sustainability.
