'Medicare Done Right,' explained: What Medicare is doing wrong

Medical Economics sat down with Susan Dentzer, president and CEO of America's Physician Groups, to discuss their latest report, "Medicare Done Right."

Dentzer lays out the core problem with today's Medicare system — and the boldest fix her organization is proposing in their report.

"We haven't gone far enough," Dentzer says, pointing to both traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage. The solution? Real accountability for all stakeholders — patients, physicians and policymakers — when it comes to the cost and quality of care.

As Dentzer explains, moving the entire program toward value-based care is essential to ensuring long-term sustainability and improved outcomes for beneficiaries.
