American Heart Association's Call to Action for Payment and Delivery System Reform
Circulation
|July 12, 2017
Summary
The healthcare system is shifting to value-based care, adopting new models like patient-centered medical homes and accountable care organizations. The American Heart Association urges professionals to engage with these reforms for improved patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare delivery system reform
- Value-based healthcare models
- Cardiovascular and stroke care
Background:
- The healthcare system is transitioning from volume-based to value-based payment models.
- Alternative delivery and payment models, including patient-centered medical homes, accountable care organizations, and bundled payments, are being implemented.
- These transformations require significant changes in medical care delivery across all specialties.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a review and definition of current alternative payment and delivery models.
- To initiate a discussion within the American Heart Association regarding engagement with healthcare reform.
- To call for increased education and research on the impact of these models on patient care.
Main Methods:
- Review of existing literature on alternative payment and delivery models.
- Analysis of early outcomes and results from implemented models.
- Convening of an expert panel to formulate recommendations.
Main Results:
- Early results indicate a shift towards value-based care, necessitating system transformation.
- Identification of key alternative models and their potential impact on patient care.
- Establishment of a framework for the American Heart Association's engagement in healthcare reform.
Conclusions:
- Healthcare reform requires active involvement from all medical fields, especially cardiovascular and stroke care.
- The American Heart Association should support and guide professionals in understanding and adapting to new care models.
- Prioritizing research is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of these evolving healthcare systems.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

01:26Heart Failure Drugs: Inhibitors of Renin-Angiotensin System
1.9K
The activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) contributes to cardiac remodeling, and inhibiting the RAAS is a pharmacological target in heart failure management. As a result, neurohumoral modulation is a crucial treatment principle for managing heart failure. This approach involves using medications like ACE inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), β-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), and neutral...
