Dr. Andrew Pecora, Chief Medical Officer at Outcomes Matter Innovations (OMI), recently appeared on the Bourne Report Deep Dive podcast to discuss one of the most persistent challenges in U.S. healthcare: why value-based reimbursement has been so difficult to scale — and what is finally starting to change.
What They Discussed
In this 20-minute conversation with Don Hooker, Director of Research at Bourne Partners, Dr. Pecora covered:
- Why fee-for-service models still dominate specialty care despite decades of reform efforts
- The real barriers to physician adoption of value-based programs — and how to overcome them
- How data interoperability affects the ability to measure and manage patient outcomes
- The technology OMI provides to specialists and payers to make VBC programs work in practice
- What a sustainable revenue model looks like for value-based specialty care
Why It Matters
U.S. healthcare spending continues to rise, yet most specialist care is still paid on a fee-for-service basis — meaning providers get paid for volume, not outcomes. Value-based care flips that model: providers are rewarded for keeping patients healthier at a lower cost.
OMI is building the infrastructure to make that shift real — connecting payers, specialists, and data systems in a way that is practical, measurable, and scalable. This episode breaks down what that looks like on the ground.
