Many Medicaid programs and private health plans are implementing new models of maternity care reimbursement, and clinicians face mounting pressure to demonstrate high-quality care at a lower cost. Clinicians will be better prepared to meet these challenges with a fuller understanding of new payment models and the opportunities they present. We describe the structure of maternity care episode payments and recommend 4 ways that clinicians can prepare for success as value-based payment models are implemented: identify opportunities to improve outcomes and experience, measure quality, reduce waste, and work in teams across settings.

Investing time and effort to uncover and mitigate today's stressors for employees can help employers avoid tomorrow's more damaging and expensive consequences. A comprehensive assessment of workplace stress can generate a substantial return on this investment, measured in enhanced individual well-being, reduced health care and disability costs and improved company performance. This article discusses the structure of stress diagnostics, the dimensions of those diagnostics, leading and lagging indicators of employee stress and how employers can use diagnostics to take actions that benefit employers and employees alike.
