The transition from treating patients at a provider’s site to delivering care in the home and community requires two things: an ability to incorporate social determinants of health into the care coordination process and the inclusion of value-based care and community-based organizations as compensated care delivery partners in VBC networks.

To fully leverage SDOH information and provide more complete services throughout the care continuum in support of value-based care, payers should include community-based organizations (CBOs) in their value-based care network contracting strategies. Doing so creates a broadened, higher performing set of resources to keep people healthy and at home.
