Fundamental distinctions between healthcare professionals in value based systems as opposed to free for service systems

One of the distinctions of these professionals is that healthcare professionals in value based systems work in a coordinated manner as opposed to those in free for service systems who work independently. This is because value based professional are compensated for the value of healthcare that they provide while professionals in free for service are reimbursed for the number of patients that they serve. Moreover, professional value-based systems usually uses advanced technology compared to those of free for service. Professionals in free for service systems lack incentives and therefore their services are not of quality standard compared to those in value-based systems. Additionally, professionals in value-based systems usually engage with patients to ensure that they provide care that is appropriate for each patients conditions. For the free for service professionals, they generally provide care and do not necessarily engage with the patients for personal care services (Gentry & Badrinath, 2017). Finally, professionals in value-based systems directs the patient to where there are supposed to go in order to receive coordinated care in an effective manner while those in free for service do not give patients directions when receiving care.
