Value-based care: a holistic approach to care

 

Coordinated, value-based care

According to the National Council on Aging, nearly 80% of seniors have two or more chronic conditions.1 Such patients, as well as others with complex conditions and health needs, require care that is cross-disciplinary and coordinated.2

Humana facilitates whole-person healthcare through primary care, behavioral health, pharmacy services, and more. Humana value-based care decreases hospitalizations and improves health outcomes.3

Patients spend more time on average with their primary care physicians, helping providers better understand and treat their needs.4

For healthcare providers, developing relationships with patients allows them to focus on disease prevention and holistic management of chronic diseases.5
