The community health centers will use the funds primarily to modernize their EHRs and join Virginia Community Healthcare Association’s population health platform, according to a May 16 CVS Health news release. These investments will help the health centers improve patient care, health outcomes and, in some cases, their in-house cancer screening capabilities.
Virginia Community Healthcare Association CEO Tracy Douglas said in the release that community health centers operate on razor-thin margins, and the funds provided through these incentives will allow them to move closer to value-based care without diverting operational dollars from patient care.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 17–19 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
