Description
Value-based care promises opportunity for ASCs, but execution is uneven. This panel examines what is working and what is not in ambulatory value-based models, from bundled payments to quality reporting. Leaders share lessons learned, pitfalls to avoid, and practical strategies to align incentives, control costs, and improve outcomes.
