Schuyler Center’s Kate Breslin publishes article on the opportunity value-based payment for children presents for improving children’s health

Kate Breslin’s article, Opportunities to improve children’s health by focusing on value, appears in the Winter 2017 issue of Behavioral Health News. The article explains that New York’s transformation of its health delivery system presents a significant opportunity to improve children’s health and well-being, but cautions that it also could “further systematize underspending” on children if it applies “adult-focused value-based payment principles to the child population.” Click here to read the article, which includes proposed recommendations the Schuyler Center urges the newly-formed subcommittee of the State’s Value-Based Payment Workgroup to consider as the subcommittee fulfills its charge of making recommendations for creating a value-based payment model for children.
