Summary
The Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group (MAPMG) is enhancing data collaboration in value-based care for nearly 800,000 Kaiser Permanente members across the D.C. area, focusing on outcomes and cost reduction. Dr. Richard McCarthy highlights the critical role of reliable, clinically relevant data, which must be validated by healthcare providers to support sustainable performance in this model. The group's analytics operation ensures that data is operationally credible and serves to improve care, rather than serve as a punitive measure. By emphasizing the importance of high-quality outcomes and patient experience in relation to costs, MAPMG's approach could influence how healthcare organizations leverage data in value-based care strategies.
