Value-Based Payment Readiness Assessment Tool

Health Management Associates (HMA) can help behavioral health provider organizations better understand how to move forward with value-based payment (VBP). We understand the detailed steps to help you focus on value, change payment structures, adapt clinical and operation workflows, and prepare and train your workforce to improve quality.

VBP Readiness Assessment Tool

HMA’s VBP Readiness Assessment is meticulously crafted to gauge your organization’s preparedness across six pivotal domains of core functions necessary for successful participation in payment reform models. These domains encompass measuring outcomes, evaluating board and leadership readiness, assessing technological capabilities for capturing and sharing data, gauging partnerships, payer engagement strategies, and financial alignment.

Our 12-item survey, strategically structured around these critical aspects, offers a detailed examination of your organization’s strengths and areas for growth. By providing insights into these domains, our assessment becomes a powerful guide, helping your organization make informed decisions and implement targeted actions. From enhancing measurement of outcomes to fostering effective partnerships and achieving financial alignment, our tool empowers your organization to navigate the complexities of value-based payment with confidence and success.

Our tool is not just a promise but a practical solution to assess your current organizational readiness, providing valuable insights to focus your attention toward the next level of value.

The versatility of our tool extends to various levels within your organization, accommodating completion by the entire organization, specific teams, or individuals. According to existing clients who have used the tool, maximum value is derived when the full team completes the assessment individually. This allows an aggregated response and can identify differences in viewpoint on readiness. Following completion, our process includes a comprehensive calibration session with the whole team. This session serves as a dynamic forum to understand similarities in perspectives and engage in discussions where responses vary. The collaborative discussion allows the team to triangulate their collective position on the VBP spectrum, fostering a deeper understanding of their organizational readiness.

The insights derived from this calibration session not only enhance team cohesion but also contribute to a more nuanced and accurate assessment of where your organization stands, further informing strategic decisions and ensuring a harmonized transition to a value-based healthcare model. Upon completion, you will receive a brief analysis of where you sit on the VBP spectrum, and recommendations on next steps to progress implementing a VBP system that works for your organization. The ultimate goal is to support your strategic decisions.
