Testing Novel Payment and Delivery Approaches Through the Veterans Health Administration's New Center for Innovation

The recently established Center for Innovation for Care and Payment will give the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) the ability to test novel payment and service delivery models; will facilitate the VA's shift toward value-based coverage strategies, with a greater emphasis on population health; and will empower the VA to collaborate with other payers to drive improvements in quality, costs, and efficiency. The authors discuss these opportunities as well as the risks for unintended consequences.
