About This Course
Course 1B examines what value-based health care delivery can look like in practice. The course contains two modules that cover the importance of working with teams to coordinate care around the needs of patients, including the description of two example delivery structures: Integrated Practice Units (IPUs) and Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs). Module 5 brings the concepts all together and shows real examples of how to put into practice the six guiding principles of value-based health care delivery.
MODULE 4: COORDINATING CARE FOR PATIENTS. Health care can be designed around team-based care coordinated around the needs of patients. This module describes how. It includes real-world descriptions of Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs) and Integrated Practice Units (IPUs), highlighting the early experience of designing and building the UT Health Austin Women’s Health clinic at Dell Medical School.
MODULE 5: BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER: VALUE BASED HEALTH CARE DELIVERY. This module will bring together all of the concepts to show what is required to make value-based health care delivery a reality. Each component includes concrete examples to show how this work is already being implemented in practice.
