United States health care lags behind other countries in quality and cost. The present health care system is unsustainable, and there is now a quick movement toward value-based care. This article lays out essential care delivery elements, and makes the case for medication optimization to enable new value-based models. Success factors include enhancing team-based care and interdisciplinary education to achieve patient-centered care.
