	"Value-based care models create incentives for healthcare providers to promote better access to care, improve the quality of services and reduce the total costs of care. These incentives align with the goals of population health, which are to keep people healthy and improve the health of those who already have chronic conditions - doing so in a manner that is evidence-based, affordable and more convenient." -David DiLoreto, M.D., MBA, Senior Vice President, GE Healthcare Camden Group
	"A survey conducted by the HCTTF revealed that 41% of its provider and payor members have implemented value-based, care reimbursement as of the end of 2015, up from 30% in 2014."
