Matrix

Consider the following scenario:

Value-based care is a healthcare delivery model that pays providers based on patient health outcomes. Some Central Healthcare System (CHS) administrators have heard that this model provides patients with lower costs, higher satisfaction scores, and reduced risks and have suggested that CHS implement it across their facilities. However, several CHS leaders have expressed concern that the costs associated with implementing this new model may outweigh the potential benefits. CHS administrators have determined that reviewing the literature around value-based care and associated costs will help inform their decision and reach consensus about how to proceed.

What do you think CHS leaders hope to gain from a literature review on the costs associated with value-based care? Any major change to a healthcare delivery model carries risks, and learning about the successes and failures of other organizations may help CHS leaders better understand how those risks might manifest and identify strategies to mitigate them. Consulting the literature will also help CHS administrators draw comparisons between their organization and those examined in studies to better understand specific adaptations that might be most appropriate in their setting and plan for contingencies. In this Assignment, you will analyze a systematic review on value-based care and search the literature for empirical studies on the costs associated with value-based healthcare models. You will use a Literature Review Matrix to organize each study’s conclusions and then synthesize your findings to inform decision-making and priority action steps related to the adoption of a value-based care model.

Articles:

1. See attachment as article 1

2. Focus particularly on value-based healthcare and cost implications and assumptions.

3. Search the literature for 5–7 additional empirical studies on the topic of value-based healthcare and the costs associated.

a. Each article should be no more than 5 years old and should be from a peer-reviewed journal.

b. The articles selected should be empirical studies that include data on cost and value-based care.

i. Reviews (systematic, integrative, meta-analysis, etc.) are not appropriate selections for this assignment.

c. Your selected articles should flow from the content in the initial article provided (Zanotto et al., 2021). You may want to consider searching the articles that are referenced within the initial article.

DO:

Part 1: Literature Review Matrix

· Using the matrix template provided, break down the information in each of your selected articles, including the initial article on value-based healthcare.

· Within the matrix, you should include your initial article (Zanotto et al., 2021) and at least 5 additional articles.

Part 2: Synthesis of Findings

· Synthesize the findings and conclusions from the articles.

· Note that this is not a  summary of the articles, but, rather, a  synthesis of the findings of all of the articles.

· Analyze any additional information that would be useful in making the decision and justify the need for the additional information.

· Explain how this synthesis can help inform the decision-making process around implementing value-based healthcare.
