  "We may have a different administration, but the value movement is non-partisan and will continue apace. Changes will likely be around the margins, and underneath will be continued pursuit of care that’s delivered at lower cost at equal or better quality. We have to move from fragmented care to coordinated care. To physicians out there, our message is stay the course."
- Don Crane, President and CEO, CAPG. quoted in "URAC Report Finds ‘Value Movement is Non-Partisan,’ Will Continue Across Healthcare Spectrum," URAC/In the News, April 5, 2017.
 
Factoid
  "Just 31% [of physicians surveyed] participate in bundled payment programs, although 26% don’t know if they do or don’t."
