On our second episode of The Value Shift podcast, we were excited to welcome Charles S. Day, MD MBA. Dr. Day is an orthopedic hand surgeon and Medical Director for Value-Based Specialty Care at Henry Ford Health.During the episode, we focused on a topic that’s becoming increasingly urgent for specialty care providers:How do we define and actually measure value in healthcare?We unpacked why the Porter value equation—while foundational—is more of a framework than a practical tool for real-world decision-making. If we want value-based care to work, we need better ways to quantify outcomes that matter to patients and link them to cost.We also talked about:📉 The decline of fee-for-service surgical revenue📈 The rising momentum for specialists to engage in value-based care🤝 Why orthopedic surgeons and other specialists should consider joining clinically integrated networks (CINs) to access emerging value-based opportunities
