RESUMO
With 25 years of proven success, bundled payments are a logical step away from a flawed fee-for-service payment system that has rewarded additional and sometimes unnecessary procedures and driven up costs. The use of bundled payments is paying off for a growing number of providers and payers through lower costs and improved quality of care. The keys to success in bundling payments are innovation, a good cost-plus financial model, a comprehensive team of caregivers, and commitment to continual improvement and collaboration.
