- You can also personalize care delivery (for example by using telehealth and home-based care) depending on a patient’s needs.
- CMS measures success at delivering value-based care using quality measures that consider care processes, for example provision of evidence-based care like screening and prevention, as well as patient outcomes and patient-reported experience of care.
