Michael Poku, M.D., chief clinical officer of Equality Health, shared his prediction for 2025.
Payers are increasingly recognizing the transformative potential of value-based care enablers. In 2025, payers will actively collaborate with these specialized organizations like never before to strengthen connections with providers, particularly independent primary care practices, and streamline activities critical to value-based care success. This will involve a strong focus on promoting member-centered care and services.
Poku
Expect to see more value-based care enablers entering the market, each offering innovative models designed to support providers in diverse ways. These models will range from reducing administrative burdens and standardizing payer relationships to simplifying quality metric reporting and leveraging technologies for proactive clinical workflows and preventive care.
Such partnerships will offload and downstream enablement from payer organizations, which will be essential for scaling value-based care, moving away from fee-for-service and achieving measurable improvements in health outcomes and cost reduction.
