Value-Based Care for Senior Living
Better Outcomes Start with Better Data, Earlier Insight, and Faster Action
ECP gives senior living operators the foundation they need to participate in value-based care without adding work for their teams.
What is Value-Based Care in Senior Living?
Value-based care is a model where senior living communities and healthcare providers work together to improve resident outcomes and reduce avoidable incidents. Success is measured by results, not volume, which means outcomes, risk reduction, and coordination matter more than ever.
Why Do EHRs Matter for Value-Based Care?
Value-based care depends on knowing what care was delivered, when it was delivered, and how it impacted resident health. Without a reliable EHR, there’s no consistent way to track care, identify risk, or share outcomes with provider partners.

Value-Based Care in Senior Living FAQs
Value-based care in senior living is a care model focused on improving resident outcomes while reducing avoidable incidents and unnecessary healthcare costs. It emphasizes proactive care, early intervention, and coordination between senior living communities and healthcare providers such as physicians and therapy groups.
Value-based care depends on knowing what care was delivered and how it impacted resident health. An EHR captures assessments, care plans, medications, incidents, and daily documentation in one system, creating the data foundation needed to track trends, identify risk, and share outcomes with care partners.
It’s extremely difficult. Without an EHR, care data is inconsistent, hard to measure, and difficult to share. Value-based care requires accurate, standardized data over time to support early intervention and collaboration with healthcare providers.
Yes. While payments typically go to Medicare-reimbursed providers, senior living operators can participate through shared-savings or risk-sharing agreements with ACOs and other value-based care partners when they help reduce overall cost of care and improve outcomes.
Common programs include ACO REACH, Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) ACOs, and GUIDE. These programs incentivize providers to improve outcomes and manage costs, creating opportunities for collaboration with senior living communities.
ECP provides the care data, analytics, and predictive tools senior living communities need to participate in value-based care. This includes accurate documentation, customizable dashboards, and AI-driven risk predictors that help teams intervene earlier and share outcomes with partners.
AI helps identify residents at heightened risk of falls, serious incidents, or changes in length of stay. By surfacing risk earlier and explaining what’s driving it, AI enables more targeted interventions and supports better outcomes in value-based care models.
Getting started typically involves implementing an EHR, capturing consistent care data, defining meaningful KPIs, and building partnerships with healthcare providers. Technology that supports analytics and early risk detection makes participation more achievable.
