Dive Brief:

  • There is a wide disconnect between what payers and providers view as reality in terms of having the needed tools for providing higher quality care, according to a new Quest Diagnostics study released at America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Institute & Expo 2017. The disconnect, however, narrowed from last year.
  • More than half (53%) of surveyed health plans said providers have the tools they need to support value-based care (VBC), but 43% of physicians said they are still lacking these tools.​
  • One reason for the discrepancy is the increased educational material providers have been receiving on VBC, Patrick James, chief clinical officer for health plans and policy at Quest Diagnostics, told Healthcare Dive.
