VBC Insights: The Case for Pediatric Value Based Care

Host Dan Marino welcomes Dr. Suzanne Brixey, Executive Director of Fortify Children's Health, to explore how value-based care can transform pediatric healthcare. While value-based care has gained traction in adult medicine, pediatric care has often been left out of the conversation. Dr. Brixey discusses how Virginia's statewide pediatric clinically integrated network is advancing a new approach designed specifically for children and families. She explains why pediatric payment models and quality measures must differ from those used in adult care, how early intervention and preventive care can improve lifelong health outcomes, and why addressing behavioral health, social drivers of health, and family well-being is essential to creating healthier children, stronger communities, and a more sustainable healthcare system.
