Healthcare Quality and Outcomes
Bundled payments refer to a healthcare payment model where a single payment is made for all the services related to a specific treatment or condition, rather than paying separately for each individual service. This approach is designed to incentivize providers to deliver efficient and coordinated care, ultimately improving patient outcomes while controlling costs. Bundled payments are closely linked to value-based care models, as they encourage providers to focus on the quality of care rather than the volume of services provided.
