COVID-19 Health Care Response and Resilience Program
Published date
The COVID-19 Health Care Response and Resilience Program, developed in partnership with Families USA and United States of Care, would provide additional financial relief to health care providers so they may better meet the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, while also facilitating greater provider participation in value-based payment models. Providers participating in value-based payment models have demonstrated resilience to the negative financial impact of the pandemic and an ability to quickly pivot resources so they may continue safely caring for individuals and their families. This proposal describes how future financial relief offered to health care providers could help health care providers invest in the capabilities (e.g., data and telehealth infrastructure) that can support effective COVID-19 detection and containment strategies as well as facilitate shifts to value-based payment models that will be more resilient to future public health crises.
Health care organizations and former health care policy leaders support this proposal and see it as an approach to relief that enables additional payments to be an investment that will improve access and care, and reduce costs in the future.
