Today's newsletter highlights an analysis from Abhinav Pandey and
colleagues on twenty-four value-based purchasing programs.

Value-Based Purchasing Review
In their article in the June issue of Health Affairs, Abhinav Pandey and
his team of coauthors offer a systematic review, with qualitative
analysis, of value-based purchasing (VBP) programs across the country
<[link removed]>.
For the twenty-four programs evaluated by previously published
literature, all incentivizing spending reduction and quality
improvement, the authors find that "higher-intensity VBP programs are
more frequently associated with desired quality processes, utilization
measures, and spending reductions than lower-intensity programs."
Lower-intensity programs tended to be associated with null findings.
Pandey and coauthors also find that nonfinancial supports were present
in all but one of the evaluated programs, suggesting that VBP program
designers prioritize nonfinancial supports.
They also link VBP to desired outcomes for both quality improvements and
spending reduction, but not with spending reduction alone.
