Author(s):
Key Takeaways
- Measuring patient outcomes in value-based care is complex and often inadequately performed, posing significant challenges.
- Primary care practitioners show reluctance to join value-based payment models due to difficulties in performance measurement.
A physician researcher discusses why primary care physicians do not participate in value-based payment models.

he best way to measure patient outcomes? “Measuring that is very tricky to do, and we don't do it that well,” said Ann S. O’Malley, MD, MPH, a researcher for Mathematica.
