Report: Transforming Pediatrics to Support Population Health
This report makes the case for redesigning pediatric primary care to play a broader role in the health and well-being of families and their children and outlines the principles to guide payment reform to support new services.
Policy Brief: Healthier Kids, Healthier Connecticut
This six page policy brief was prepared by the Connecticut Health Foundation to accompany the Transforming Pediatrics to Support Population Health report.
An important focus in health policy today is on changing the way we pay for care. There is broad consensus that the predominant fee-for-service payment method does not necessarily motivate care that will result in the best health outcomes. The evolving view is that payment constructed to reward the value of care delivered, rather than the volume of services, is a preferable method for improving the population’s health, and that value-based payment, properly applied, will bring positive changes to how care is organized and delivered.- Robert Seifert (excerpt from "Payment Reform for Kids")
