Meet Dr. Grace Terrell, Chief Medical Officer, IKS Health
Value-based care was introduced with an ambitious goal: improve quality, lower costs, and refocus healthcare around patients rather than volume. Yet, as Dr. Grace Terrell, Chief Medical Officer, IKS Health observes during an interview on PopHealth Week with host Fred Goldstein, MS, much of today’s value-based landscape looks remarkably similar to fee-for-service – only with more reporting requirements. Quality metrics, risk scores, and electronic documentation have proliferated, while the underlying care models remain largely unchanged. This disconnect raises a fundamental question: can value-based care succeed without redesigning how care is actually delivered?
