Tracking success

An important part of HCA’s value-based purchasing (VBP) strategy is to determine health care provider and health plan participation in VBP arrangements. HCA gathers this information from multiple sources, including two annual surveys to track provider and plan (payer) progress toward our paying for health and value goal.

Paying for Value surveys

Each year, HCA issues Paying for Value surveys to health plans (payers) and health care providers to understand participation in VBP and track progress toward our VBP adoption goals.

The surveys include questions about:

  • Barriers and enablers to VBP adoption
  • Types of providers engaged in VBP
  • How health equity is incorporated into VBP contracts
  • Ways HCA can improve current and future VBP initiatives

Measuring VBP adoption and related barriers and enablers helps HCA find ways to improve current and future initiatives. This includes alternative payment models, health plan contracts, our VBP Roadmap, and more.
