Foundations of Value-Based Care: Preparing Community Health Centers for Future Collaboration and Success

As the healthcare landscape continues its shift from volume to value, it is essential for community health centers (CHCs) to understand and embrace the core principles of value-based care. This session provides a strong foundation for CHCs to begin or advance their journey into value-based models, setting the stage for future collaboratives that will build upon these concepts in greater depth.

Designed with the realities of CHC operations in mind, this session will introduce participants to the Advanced Payment Model (APM) framework and examine the role of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) in helping safety-net providers navigate value-based arrangements. Attendees will explore how value-based care aligns with the mission of health centers—improving outcomes, advancing equity, and ensuring sustainable care for underserved communities.

Practical strategies will be shared to help participants identify organizational priorities, define success metrics, and integrate value-based care goals into day-to-day operations. Throughout the session, the focus will remain on real-world applicability, ensuring that the concepts discussed are actionable within the resource constraints and patient-centered focus of health centers.

• Core principles and terminology of value-based care for CHCs
• Introduction to APMs and the role of ACOs in supporting health centers
• Strategies for aligning mission-driven priorities with value-based goals
