ABSTRACT
There is a growing emphasis on population health management (PHM) in the United States, in part because it has the worst health outcomes indices among high-income countries despite spending by far the most on health care. Successful PHM is expected to lead to a healthier population with reduced health care utilization and cost. The role of radiology in PHM is increasingly being recognized, including efforts in care coordination, secondary prevention, and appropriate imaging utilization, among others. To further discuss economic considerations for PHM, we must understand the evolving health care payer environment, which combines fee-for-service and increasingly, an alternative payment model framework developed by the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network. In considering the term "value-based care," perceived value needs to accrue to those who ultimately pay for care, which is more commonly employers and the government. This perspective drives the design of alternative payment models and thus should be taken into consideration to ensure sustainable practice models.
