Value-Based Care Survey

Dear ACC colleagues,

I hope this message finds you well.

Please consider answering 10 brief questions that aim to assess the current state of literacy regarding value-based care: delivery and contracting (see link below).

The survey results will be a milestone of my capstone project at the University of Minnesota Executive Master of Health Administration program.

I would be grateful for your help; the survey should not take longer than 2-3 minutes of your valued time.

Your support means a lot.

Best regards,
Mario Goessl, MD PhD FACC
