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.

Patients spend more time on average with their primary care physicians, helping providers better understand and treat their needs.³

For healthcare providers, developing relationships with patients allows them to focus on disease prevention and holistic management of chronic diseases.⁴
