title: Medicare bundled payment: what is it worth to you?
abstract: Hospital leaders who are contemplating participation in a bundled payment initiative should first assess current circumstances to determine the extent of the opportunity for their organizations. Those who have decided conditions are favorable for such an initiative should next perform a financial assessment that includes modeling direct contract results, assessing the financial impact of reduced utilization and of improved clinical care and operations, and evaluating the net financial impact. Hospital executives also should understand the competitive and strategic benefits that bundled payment offers.
