The results of Kaiser Permanente’s outcomes-focused approach to value-based care are clear: our members are 35% less likely to die early from all causes of death combined when compared to others in their communities. Yet many conversations about value-based care still begin with payment models. That needs to change. Value-based care isn't about how care is paid for — it's about the outcomes it delivers for people. This week at #AHIP2026, our leaders joined important conversations about the future of health care. We know that when done right, value-based care leads to better health, lower costs, and a better experience for patients and clinicians. It happens when care is built around outcomes, equity, and affordability. Healthier lives. More affordable care. Stronger communities. That’s Kaiser Permanente’s approach to #ValueBasedCare.
