A state-led framework for value-based purchasing to incent integration.

Addressing healthcare costs requires incenting providers to address both physical and behavioral health conditions, as well as social determinants of health. The most complex, and expensive, patients are often those with comorbid mental illness and/or addiction, who are at higher risk for exposure to violence, food insecurity, unstable housing and other adversities that negatively affect health. Yet today's value-based payment models and associated quality measures do not incent providers to address patients' behavioral and social needs.
