  "Tom Price’s September 29 resignation as Secretary of Health and Human Services lifted some clouds of uncertainty that had been hanging over value-based care because of his staunch opposition to mandatory programs in particular and, it often seemed, value-based care in general. Not coincidentally, in the weeks after his departure from HHS, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Seema Verma voiced her support for value-based care and alternative payment models, which provide the financial engine that promotes the application of healthcare predictive analytics for accountable care, bundled payments and other important initiatives aiming to reduce cost and improve quality."
