Value Based Purchasing Hinges on Patient Experience
From the CEO
After reflecting on another successful year, we turn to the question of what the future holds. In the healthcare industry, this is never easy to predict. While the ultimate fate of the healthcare reform legislation is not yet decided, it appears that certain components are here to stay. One of the most significant is Value Based Purchasing, which ties hospital reimbursement directly to hospital performance. VBP has changed the way our customers have to think about their finances, and we must always provide value that responds to their challenges.
All the best,
