RESUMO
The Fee for Value (FFV) Task Force, a subgroup of the American Academy of PAs' Research and Strategic Initiatives Commission, has examined tools and mechanisms aimed at better clarifying the volume and value of PA work and how that work contributes to improving access to high-quality care. Establishing the value of PAs has been a challenging task for many healthcare providers. Often, PA value has been defined by their clinical productivity, without any clear direction as to what constitutes value versus productivity. The objective of this article is to unmask the value of PAs through the role of electronic health records and highlight PAs' ability to produce services that are value-oriented and quantifiably productive.

True population health management cannot be realized by health care systems acting alone, nor by solely delivering high-quality care at lower costs. Successful models of population health must not myopically focus on care delivery but must also engage partners across their communities to address community culture as well as the broader social determinants of health. Modern models of population health must incorporate both innovation as well as reform in the clinical delivery process. Use of team-based care, targeted population interventions, and creativity in redesigned incentives are core competencies necessary to effectively change the way health care is delivered across populations.
