Leading Value-Based Care
Training Healthcare Leaders in Value-Based Care
The PHIPS program prepares Jefferson leaders to drive the execution of critical Jefferson Health strategic goals. These maximize quality and outcomes while reducing the total cost of care. This includes understanding the intersection of healthcare with payers, communities, and public health. Scholars will better lead success in new payment models, advance team-based care, and promote population health.
PHIPS is modeled on the educational program developed at Jefferson to advance Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (QIPS), which has successfully advanced quality improvement and patient safety through leadership training. Leading Value-Based Care participants complete graduate education and a culminating project aligned with key components of Jefferson's value-based care strategy.
Leading Value-Based Care Program Overview
