OM DENNE EPISODE
Community health centers have long delivered the kind of whole-person, outcomes-focused care that value-based models are designed to reward. In this episode of In Practice, Dr. Robert Murry, chief medical officer at NextGen Healthcare, talks with Bob Theis, chief executive officer of Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center, about why health centers are uniquely positioned to lead the shift toward value-based care.
They discuss how accurate risk capture, attention to social needs, and proactive Medicaid outreach help patients stay connected to care. Theis also shares how one patient-centered program reduced emergency room visits among a group of 250 patients from approximately 1,500 per year to fewer than 400.
The conversation also explores how data, AI and automation can reduce administrative burden, strengthen documentation and give care teams more time to focus on patients.
