In this episode, we’re joined by Emily Brower, President and CEO of the National Association of ACOs, and Mara McDermott, CEO of Accountable for Health, for a deep dive into the current state of value-based care. Emily and Mara reflect on recent policy developments, emerging trends, and the challenges their members face in advancing accountable care. They also share where they’re seeing alignment, or misalignment, with federal priorities, and offer practical guidance on how to track meaningful changes in the VBC policy landscape. 

In this episode, we explore the new Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) with Rob Mechanic and Jennifer Perloff from the Institute for Accountable Care. They discuss the model’s implications for value-based care, the Institute’s analysis, and the tools available to support its adoption.
