Abstract: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Triple Aim are driving a shift toward value-based care. Significant financial risk is being transferred from commercial insurers and government payers to hospital systems and independent physician groups. Medicare has developed bundled payment programs, but legislative barriers still impede the implementation of value-based health care.<br /> (©2016 by the North Carolina Institute of Medicine and The Duke Endowment.
