Pamela Spain
Pamela specializes in value-based health care policy initiatives. Her work includes implementing, monitoring, and evaluating federally- and state-funded quality and payment initiatives. Her expertise is cancer care quality and payment, with an emphasis on translating complex analyses for decision-makers to improve the quality of care and lower costs for beneficiaries and health systems.
I believe in the promise of value-based care, developing meaningful measures to reform how payers reward performance, and informing patients about the quality and cost of the health care services they receive.
