One of the challenges healthcare executives face today is lowering cost while improving quality and combining both of them to ensure healthier margins. In the value based care environment, reimbursement is tied to patient outcomes, hence clinical quality has financial implications for hospitals and healthcare systems. ACOs, PCMHs, and providers participating with Bundle payments programs have to focus on ways to keep patients healthy to ensure healthier bottom lines. Length of stay, readmission rates, ED visits, patient satisfaction are key performance indicators.  

While administering high-quality care, healthcare providers also have to consider their budgetary constraints. Outsourcing and consultation may be the answer to garner expertise and use cost effective strategies. Outsourcing uses the expertise of a developed workforce of an outside organization to perform tasks typically more expensive for an organization. Outsourcing/consultation also gives organizations access to the expertise needed for implementing new processes. Value-based care is still a fairly new concept for some healthcare providers and many are still trying to implement the appropriate systems into their workflow.
