Value-based care aims to reduce costs and improve outcomes in healthcare, but rural providers have been slower to adopt it due to challenges in staying viable and taking on risk. Homeward Health, a San Francisco-based company, is working to help rural providers transition to value-based care by forming contracts with health plans, partnering with existing providers, and offering care in homes and communities. Many rural providers are interested in value-based care but lack the resources and technology to do so. Homeward helps by providing technology to monitor patients in their homes, addressing the challenge of not being able to see patients as frequently as urban providers.
