There is a lot of skepticism in the physician world on whether or not "value-based care" — where providers are reimbursed based on quality measures, rather than quantity — can work.
In an upcoming, yet-to-be-released survey fromPhysicians Practice, more than 50 percent of physicians (1,314 were surveyed) said value-based care was a good idea in theory, but difficult in practice. A smaller group, approximately 20 percent, went so far to say that it was a bad idea that would never succeed. Only 6 percent of respondents said it was a good idea and good for patients.
