Patients of Wellvana physician partners enjoy multiple benefits within value-based care, including more time with their physicians at appointments (because they are not being compensated based on volume, but on quality of care and outcomes); education and close follow-up to help them take control of their health; seamless care between their primary care physicians and specialists who may also be involved in their care; care management teams to help coordinate care and navigate a confusing system; and tools and technology to help determine patients’ problems earlier than others.
The result is that Wellvana patients are generally healthier with a higher quality of life, and require fewer visits to doctor’s offices, emergency rooms, and hospitals.
