Description
Summary:	[...]the College has endorsed Million Hearts' new Cardiovascular Risk Reduction Model--the first of its kind from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services--that uses a data-driven, predictive modeling approach and gives each participant an individualized 10-year risk score. In terms of payment, the model's value-based payment design will reward statistical reduction in predicted risk of heart attack and stroke, rather than specific blood pressure or cholesterol numbers.
