Defining a Strategy for Value-based Contracting

This workbook was designed to assist BHAs in becoming familiar with elements of VBP, value-based payments, and provide tools to help with these transformation efforts. Ideally, the agency leadership team will have reviewed the Value-Based Payment Practice Transformation Planning Guide developed in partnership with the Healthier Washington Practice Transformation Support Hub, National Council for Behavioral Health, and the Washington Council for Behavioral Health and will have assembled a VBP/transformation team. This workbook was structured with the assumption that the leadership team will utilize the Value-Based Payment Practice Transformation Planning Guide to build their conceptual roadmap while relying on this workbook to help with the concrete aspects of planning and implementation.
