Value based care has become a much used phrase. Great to hear CMS’ definition of VBC which has downstream impact on programs, benefits and care delivery . #valuebasedcare

Today, the US announced steps to support #India during its unprecedented wave of #COVID19 infections. It has been painful to watch the suffering and loss that so many have endured. The only way to address a global pandemic is global cooperation and mutual support.

Many of us have seen the heartbreaking & horrifying toll of COVID-19 in India in recent days. Today's statement outlines concrete steps being taken by the United States to help address the crisis. The uncontrolled spread of COVID-19 anywhere presents a threat to all nations. /1

Easy to talk about health equity. The management team at @scanhealthplan is putting its money where its mouth is. We are tying our 2021 bonuses to whether we close gaps in medication adherence between Caucasian patients and African-American and Latino patients.
