On the latest episode of The Scope with Dr. K, Dr. Lawrence Kosinski and his guest, Daniel J. Marino, discuss the progression that organizations must make to succeed in risk-based value-based care.

Marino is currently a Managing Partner at Lumina Health Partners, a leader in healthcare consulting and value-based care, optimizing healthcare performance and clinical transformation.

“That investment and shift that we make [to value-based care] is the right thing to do for our patients, the right thing to do for our physicians, and the right thing to do for our communities,” Marino said.

The podcast, which airs on HealthcareNOW Radio, explores steps that payers can take to provide financial incentives to enable organizations to thrive in value-based care – including episode-based models.

“Episode-based models enable specialists to participate in value-based care,” Marino said. “They help to manage [costs] and are very appealing to employers.”
