What are the benefits for patient care are top-notch care with minimal effect on health in addition to the inhouse potential nosocomial infections, the provider incentives by lowering the operating payments by 2%, and the overall fiscal impact of our healthcare system by drawing patients and healthcare together in best health care practices. One example of how a patient can be helped under a value-based system is lower infection rates, as noted earlier by incentivizing hospitals to improve infection rates giving them a score to encourage refunds.
