Main Discussion Points:

  • The innovative approaches TailorCare and Humana are using to deliver personalized, value-based MSK care.
  • The importance of integrating clinical expertise and advanced analytics to enhance patient outcomes.
  • Future directions for expanding value-based care models to broader patient populations.
