Turning AI Into Performance in Value-Based Care Contracts

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping healthcare, yet many provider organizations still struggle to move from interest to practical application particularly when it comes to value-based care contracts. While AI promises efficiency and insight, turning it into measurable performance and financial advantage remains a challenge. In this episode of Value-Based Care Insights, host Daniel Marino explores how AI can be used to address one of healthcare’s most complex challenges: evaluating and managing value-based contracts. Drawing on real-world experience, Daniel explores how AI can be used to build performance models that connect contract design with operational outcomes across clinically integrated networks, ACOs, and other value-based arrangements.Joined by Eddie Diaz, a data scientist with more than 15 years of experience in value-based care analytics, the discussion highlights how AI can bring clarity to attribution, risk, quality, and financial performance to help CFOs, CMOs, and managed care leaders better understand contract opportunities, risks, and results. Together, they explore how AI can move beyond hype to deliver real, actionable value in value-based care contracts.
