Kevin Fischer on Value-Based Care: Transforming Behavioral Health
“It's the culture that we've become accustomed to, and we realize now that we need to change the focus, and the focus needs to be on the quality of life for people, for the patients and people who receive services.”
What if the way we pay for mental health services could actually improve the care we receive? That's the big question in this episode of 'Mental Health News Radio'. Hosts Dave Ballenberger and Kristin Sunanta Walker sit down with Kevin Fischer, the Executive Director of NAMI Michigan, to unpack the concept of value-based care in behavioral health.
Fischer, who turned his personal tragedy of losing his son to suicide into a mission to help others, offers a unique perspective on how this model can change lives. He explains how value-based care focuses on outcomes rather than services rendered, aiming to make mental health care more effective and efficient. The discussion also touches on the importance of coordinated care, breaking down silos in the healthcare system, and the legislative efforts needed to make these changes a reality.
If you're curious about the future of mental health care and how new payment models could drive better outcomes, this episode is a must-listen.
