How CHA Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center has succeeded in a world of bundled payments

As the U.S. shifts from fee-for-service to value-based payment for health care, it is becoming increasingly important for providers to learn how to succeed with bundled payments. Bundled payments make providers more financially accountable than they are with the fee-for-service system for the total cost of a patient’s treatment and recovery, and they can be used for acute, chronic, or primary care. Today bundled payments are most commonly used to cost-effectively manage a patient’s care in the hospital and over the following 90 days post-discharge.
