Transforming Health Care Delivery: Innovations in Payment Models for Interprofessional Team-Based Care

N C Med J. 2024 May;85(3):173-177. doi: 10.18043/001c.117089.

Abstract

By examining the strengths, limitations, and implications of different payment models we seek to inform policymakers, practitioners, and educators on the path toward patient-cen-tered, efficient, and sustainable primary health care deliv-ery. Health care payment model reform should be viewed as an investment in future health asset capacity and equity production rather than an immediate return on investment for short-term health care cost reduction.
