    About the Course

    COURSE 1 of 7. This course is designed to introduce you to the concept of value-based care (VBC). While the information you will explore is
    general, it will help you establish a solid foundation for continued learning and future thinking about the concept of VBC. Through a historical

    Administration. While history is an important filter for understanding healthcare in this country, you will learn how each of these mechanisms

    Overall, a fantastic Intro Course to U.S. Healthcare Systems, and the need for VBC Transformation. Would have liked a bit more cohesion and alignment between the course content and summative assignment.

    I think the course material was excellent but I am not sure I agree with the peer review being 70% of the grade. Peer review is subjective to the individual giving the review and their understanding of the instructions associated with the peer review and based on their learning and expertise and not sure this is an objective review of the completed course work.

    It was a good course, but not popular. Getting Peer review was difficult, there has to be a better process to getting some type of review done. Pretty much all people on the discussion platform was pretty much begging people to look at their submission.

    Really nice overview of the fundamentals of the US healthcare system. The course prepares the learner to step back and take a more critical look at healthcare funding, rising costs and the imperative of focusing on value rather than process. I strongly recommend this course to anyone new to the topic of VBH.

    I had no idea about VBC until I read about it in Humana's network. I am very happy to have taken this course and plan to continue.

    A good intro to the course which is itself a little more than an introduction to the vastly evolving world of value-based care.
