This week’s featured visual comes from a new article published in last week’s NEJM Catalyst that discusses how Risant Health is scaling Kaiser Permanente’s value-based care model to community health systems (starting with Geisinger and Cone Health) using a shared “value-based platform.”
The paper—authored by Risant CEO Dr. Jaewon Ryu and a team of health system-affiliated researchers—covers four major pillars:
Clinician simplicity (ambient clinical assistant, inbox management)
Evidence-based care everywhere (value-based care guides)
Right care, right place (intelligent triage and on-demand virtual care)
“Care Without Delay” (care journey coordination)
Today’s graphic gives an overview of that last pillar, which aims to improve patient flow and clinical transitions to minimize delays, improve discharge timing, and maximize throughput. In practice, this requires cross-disciplinary coordination teams, shared communication systems, and extensive process optimization.
