Value-Based Payments (VBP) is a reimbursement model that shifts away from compensating providers based on volume (fee-for-service), and towards a model which rewards providers based on their efficiency and quality of care. The idea behind this shift is to incentivize providers to create more *value* in the services that they provide, instead of incentivizing sheer volume of services.

And it’s happening fast. To help agencies accelerate their own transition processes, the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) has created a one-time $10 million Non-Profit Behavioral Health / Developmental Disability Providers Health Information Technology (BH-DD HIT) Investment Program. What does that mean exactly?
