March 23, 2023 •Lincoln Intelligence Group
What does it mean to have a “culture of value”? We’ve been exploring this question for some time and suspect that we will continue exploring it well into the future.

The next frontier is a culture that supports a mission of ‘Value’. Just like we need to align our care ecosystem with the value drive of payers and referral partners, we need to align the internal expectations of each team member for this same drive.

Based on our Nov. 16, 2022 discussion, the main goal moving ahead for home-based Medicare providers is to achieve tightly integrated partnerships of aligned payer and referral sources, with a secondary goal of maximizing the unit contribution of every caregiving resource.
