James S. Powers, MDVA Tennessee Valley Healthcare SystemVanderbilt University School of MedicineGeriatric Research Education and Clinical CenterNashville, TN Dr. Powers is Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and Associate Clinical Director at the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System, Geriatrics Research Education and Clinical Center (TVHS GRECC), Nashville TN. He is Geriatrics Fellowship Program Director. The views expressed are his own and based on his experience of over three decades developing evaluating, and sustaining geriatric healthcare models and educational programs throughout the Mid-South. The main premise of this book is that value-based purchasing for healthcare is likely to remain a constant for the foreseeable future despite any changes in the financing of healthcare. The second is that value-based purchasing drives quality metrics which are important levers for changes in healthcare delivery. Dr. Powers focuses on quality improvement and evaluating educational and clinical outcomes, maintains a large practice and teaches geriatrics to healthcare professionals of all disciplines.
