About

This Future Healthcare Payment Models course offered by Coursera in partnership with Northeastern University will review the drivers of healthcare cost and solutions that have been proposed to address cost, quality and value of health care.

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

Many point blame for high costs on payment models that pay healthcare providers for every service they provide to patients, essentially paying more for volume and service intensity. This is called a Fee for Service (FFS) payment model. 

Some solutions, arguably the more sustainable solutions, are the combined strategies of new payment models, care management, insurance plan designs, consumer engagement tools, and technology. 

Using that information we will explore various situations, showcasing coordinated care and payment strategies that can be implemented to improve patient health and the cost of delivery of healthcare services.
