In this episode, he hops in the miniVHAN to share how his personal experience and time as senior advisor at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation have fueled his passion for value-based care – an approach he believes can revolutionize patient outcomes and increase provider satisfaction.     With an aging population and too few doctors, traditional ways of providing care aren't working. Dr. Stimson will explore how a team-oriented approach, focused on patient needs, can empower providers, reduce clinician burnout and improve patient care. We'll learn how better communication and cooperation between patients, employers and providers can overcome the challenges of the value-based care shift and drive this transformation forward.

There's a good reason Medicare triple-weights medication adherence as a performance measure. Prescriptions aren't effective if patients can't access them easily or take them routinely. One way VHAN's Care Management team supports network members is by helping their patients overcome barriers to filling prescriptions and managing complex medication regimens. In this episode, clinical pharmacist Danya Wilson and nurse practitioner Catherine McMullan discuss the transformative power of personalized patient medication strategies. We explore how a renewed focus on medication adherence can help VHAN members improve health care outcomes and costs, leading to better contract performance and greater financial incentives.

Local communities across the state are in serious need of compassionate, problem-solving health professionals who can build bridges between doctors and patients and ensure every individual receives the care they deserve.
