The AAMC's Research and Action Institute has published a new issue brief, "What's the Value in Value-Based (VBC) Care?" which assesses which large-scale VBC models have worked so far, what gaps exist in the current portfolio, and what opportunities exist to build on VBC's promise of better care at a lower cost. The paper also summarizes the federal government's net savings and losses for the VBC models discussed. The authors find that some VBC models have achieved net savings, while others have resulted in relatively modest net spending - which may be a reasonable investment in quality improvement. https://www.aamc.org/advocacy-policy/aamc-research-and-action-institute/whats-value-value-based-care
