Value-Based Care
Affirm Health’s mission is to support clinicians with technology that allows them to focus wholly on the health of humans in their care.
Affirm Health was created to help doctors and nurses help their patients. Technology has restructured the world in the last two decades, but these shifts have left huge areas of medicine and healthcare largely the same as they were. We believe the more time practitioners spend listening to and speaking with their patients, the better the patient experience is. We use technology to streamline administration, clarify communications and simplify everything that goes into creating impactful value based care.

Here’s what it’s like to work with us:
We’re Part Of The Team
Medicine is a team sport. We’re partners not vendors. Every patient is treated by a team: doctors, nurses, administrators, insurers, office managers and technicians. Affirm Health is part of that team, and our job is to support the experts so they can deliver on their promise of excellent patient care every day.
We Keep Our Promises
We do what we say we’re going to do, because we know on the other side of every screen there is a living, breathing person. We create technology, but we serve humanity. Every decision we make starts and ends with the people we’re here to help.
We’re All Ears
We always listen more than we talk. Everyone should be heard and no one should ever feel ignored. What we hear, and the questions we ask drives what we create. Our best ideas come from you.
We’re Gritty With A Smile
Medicine is a 24 hour a day job. We love to dig in and we’re happy to keep going until everyone feels good. We know what’s at stake, and that’s what keeps us moving.

The Intersection of FFS and VBC Medicine: Conclusion
by Jonathan Hart, MD MBA
As we’ve seen over these past few weeks in our exploration of the intersection of FFS and VBC in the PCP office, the practical application of VBC principles does not need to be an enigma for FFS-heavy practices. You can and, in truth, need to practice in both worlds – FFS and VBC. In fact, VBC concepts applied to non-VBC circumstances can be a boost to FFS healthcare delivery in both revenue and in their transition to practices that create value rather than just creating claims.
The Intersection of FFS and VBC Medicine: ACP
by Jonathan Hart, MD MBA
We’ve been looking at the intersection of fee-for-service (FFS) and value-based care healthcare delivery models within a primary care (PCP) office/ Annual Wellness Visits (AWV) and HEDIS® measures tend to get most of the attention in discussions of VBC in a PCP office, but they have an often-forgotten cousin that can have at least the same impact on both positive patient outcome and shared savings revenue – Advanced Care Planning (ACP).
