Health Centers in the Era of Accountable Care

Insights from AltaMed Health Services

Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this case study highlights the successful experiences of AltaMed and how they shaped their role in payment reform, care delivery transformation, and their financial sustainability through multiple value based payment strategies. The authors at John Snow Inc. intend for this paper to serve as a lens through which other health centers may consider their role in payment reform models and strategies—including those affecting primary care as well as the health care delivery system of their populations.
