In value-based care models, patients have more power. As a result, case managers will be able to be better advocates, Michael L. Millenson, president of Health Quality Advisors, explains in this podcast. "Now you're not a manager of a case; you're a collaborator with a patient. That's what's changing on the ground."

Millenson, a three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee, will offer more insight into the impact on value-based care at the CCMC 2017 New World Symposium.
