OUR STORY
Why VBCIndex Exists
The gap between value-based care policy and value-based care execution has always been an information problem.
The Promise
EHRs were sold as digital transformation
Electronic health records were sold to CFOs as healthcare's digital transformation — without meaningful clinical oversight. The pitch was efficiency, interoperability, and better outcomes.
The Reality
Clinicians became high-paid box-checkers
Instead of improving outcomes, EHRs turned clinicians into what Wachter describes as high-paid box-checkers. The technology optimized for billing compliance, not care delivery.
The Friction
New cost centers to justify old ones
Organizations created entirely new cost centers — patient coordinators, documentation specialists, clinical informaticists — just to demonstrate ROI on technology that was generating the friction in the first place.
The Framework
VBC was meant to tie it all together
Value-based care was — and is — the financial framework meant to tie all of that extra work to outcomes so the investment could pay for itself. Shared savings, bundled payments, quality bonuses: mechanisms to reward the work that EHRs made harder.
The Breakdown
It breaks at discharge and remittance
But VBC consistently breaks down at the same point: tracking and reporting to payers at discharge and remittance. The data is there, buried in clinical notes and billing systems, but getting it out in a format payers accept remains the hardest step.
Our Experience
We've built VBC tools in oncology and primary care
Our team has built tools for value-based care in oncology and primary care. The opportunity is clearly present — organizations that get VBC right capture meaningful revenue. But the ones that struggle aren't lacking effort. They're lacking insight.
The Opportunity
Better technology, better decisions
With more flexible and intelligent technology, healthcare organizations can now capture the revenue they so desperately need. But before technology, healthcare providers need better insight into which models are available and how to decide which ones to dedicate resources to.
VBCIndex
That's why we built this
VBCIndex gives healthcare organizations verified, data-driven intelligence on value-based care models — so they can make informed decisions before committing resources. No sales pitch. No integration required. Just the information you need to move forward.
