I Won a 2024 Digital Health Media Award!
Ok, so it was a team effort with my former Net Health colleagues, but I’m going to take my fair share of credit here.
Earlier this year, a digital ebook series I wrote and helped create was recognized by the Digital Health Association. As part of their Fall 2024 Digital Health Awards, the series titled “The ABCs of Value-Based Care in Rehab Therapy” earned a Bronze award in the category “Digital Health Media/Publications - Blog Post Series.”
The final series involved in-depth research and interviews with subject matter experts embedded in the world of healthcare in general and rehab therapy specifically. The resulting thought leadership hub includes three comprehensive chapters, a value-based care readiness assessment, and a handful of video clips that offer additional explanation from our experts.
The goal: present audiences with an engaging multimedia experience while positioning Net Health as a leading voice in the movement toward value-based care.
Some Background on VBC
For those who don’t know, value-based care is a healthcare model that rewards providers for delivering better patient outcomes rather than being paid solely for the number of services they perform.
Unlike the traditional fee-for-service approach, which focuses on volume, value-based care (VBC) emphasizes quality, efficiency, and long-term patient health.
Several programs already exist that strive to move the payment needle from volume to value, but our healthcare system has a long way to go. And since the direction and impact of VBC is largely still up for debate, the Net Health team decided they wanted to take a leadership role in effecting changes in this area.
Hence, we created this in-depth series to define value-based care in the rehab therapy profession and how it’s likely to change the way practices, hospitals, and post-acute facilities offer care and do business.
Chapters in this series, within which we embedded interviews I recorded with subject matter experts, included:
Chapter 1: The Rising Tide of Value-Based Care in Rehab Therapy and Private Practice
Chapter 3: Transforming Rehab Therapy - The Dual Impact of VBC and Technology in Hospitals
My Second Digital Health Award
This is the second time the Net Health content team has been honored with a Digital Health Award based largely on my efforts in writing and content.
Earlier in 2024, the team was recognized with a similar award for the series “How Do I Get the Most Out of My Digital MSK?” This was a six-part series, with videos, discussing the emergence of digital musculoskeletal care and what it means for rehab therapists in various care settings.
