Curious about the latest trends in U.S. healthcare costs and health outcomes? Check out this eye-opening analysis that sheds light on the troubling realities we face. #WeAreTheCignaGroup #StrongerTogether

A recent article in Fierce Healthcare highlights a troubling trend: rising health care costs in the US coupled with stagnant or even declining health outcomes. https://bit.ly/4ffjg6F This is a major concern for all stakeholders in the health care system, and it's clear that the current fee-for-service model isn't helping. At Innovista Health, we believe that value-based care offers a promising solution. Value-based care incentivizes providers to deliver high-quality care that keeps patients healthy — not to book more visits or make more diagnoses. This approach has been shown to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and create a more efficient, effective health care system. Implementing a successful VBC program requires the right partner. Innovista provides the right tools, resources, partnership, and support you need to drive measurable success in value-based care. What does that mean for you? Improved patient outcomes *and* lower costs. #ValueBasedCare #HealthcareTrends

As healthcare costs rise and outcomes decline, telehealth continues to emerge as a valuable tool for improving access to care, especially for underserved populations, and supporting preventative care AND chronic disease management. By enabling early interventions and continuous monitoring, telehealth can reduce costly complications while delivering more efficient, patient-centered care. As the healthcare industry searches for value-driven solutions, the role of telehealth will only continue to expand. #Telehealth #HealthcareInnovation #PreventativeCare #PatientCare

As the cost of healthcare continues to rise, new data from Trilliant Health shows the disproportionate lack of improvement in outcomes despite higher costs. The "2024 Trends Shaping the Health Economy" report highlights the need for healthcare stakeholders to focus on value for money instead of maximizing profits. Low-cost care settings can offer the best value, including #telehealth, which improves access to care in addition to lowering costs.

From bad to worse. A new analysis points to troubling trends in the U.S. healthcare market as costs continue to rise but health outcomes are declining. In the U.S., national health expenditures increased from $2.8 trillion in 2012 to $4.5 trillion in 2022, despite relatively little change in demand or utilization, and are projected to grow to $7.7 trillion by 2032. 

Trilliant Health's analysis reveals that U.S. healthcare spending continues to rise. At the same time, health outcomes worsen, with life expectancy barely improving and conditions like obesity and behavioral health issues becoming more prevalent. The report critiques value-based care, showing that it has not significantly reduced costs or improved quality. It also highlights increasing chronic conditions and early-onset cancers among younger populations, signaling growing healthcare challenges. Note: Trilliant Health, a healthcare analytics company, provides insights into healthcare trends, focusing on demand, supply, and outcomes.

This article calls important to attention to the importance of positive margins for transforming care to better serve patients, including among not-for-profit hospitals and health systems.
