Certification

A value-based certification

The full curriculum culminates in a value-based certification — valuable to healthcare organizations that participate in value-based care contracts and are measured on outcomes.

Outcomes

Built to move the numbers that matter

Used across the Virtue family and applied in ACO value-based contracts, the curriculum targets the measures those contracts are judged on — expenditure across Medicare Part A–D, shared-savings rate, and RAF accuracy.

Medicare Part A
expenditure reduction
Medicare Part B
expenditure reduction
Medicare Part C
expenditure reduction
Medicare Part D
expenditure reduction

We publish quantified outcomes here only once they're cleared by our ACO partners.
