Leveraging Expert Second Opinions to Drive Clinical Quality in Value-Based Care

With the ongoing expansion of value-based arrangements, payers are seeking innovative initiatives to support providers in delivering the highest quality care for their most challenging members in both acute care and outpatient settings. Ensuring the effective use of resources for these members requires a holistic view of the member, which is a significant challenge in today’s fragmented and time-constrained healthcare delivery system. Expert second opinion programs offer the treating physician access to a concise synthesis of all available medical information to confirm the member is on the right clinical pathway. As a result, the cycle of repetitive care is averted, leading to greater efficiency. The process includes facilitating stronger collaboration among health plan care management teams, members and providers - supporting the goals of a value based environment.
