Thursday, December 1, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Dear John,

Yesterday we announced our upcoming events in December, which include a briefing about the health implications of income support programs on December 8 and a Policy Spotlight with Ashish Jha, White House Coordinator of the COVID-19 Response on December 12.
 
Today, Health Affairs published a new Considering Health Spending Research Brief focusing on value-based payment as a tool to address excess US health spending.

The brief explores top findings from the literature about value-based payment. Key takeaways from the research include:

  • More than half of health care payments in the US are still based on fee-for-service.
  • Savings attributable to ACOs range from just less than 1 percent to just more than 6 percent of per person spending.
  • The effects of bundled payments vary across procedures and patient populations.
  • Research on savings from capitation is limited.

The Health Affairs nonpartisan Council on Health Care Spending and Value studies excessive health spending in the US and recommends strategies to address it.

This research brief is one in a series that provides snapshots of key literature that informed the council’s inquiry into health
spending drivers and interventions.
