VBC Readiness Assessment

The Value-Based Care (VBC) Readiness Assessment is designed to help dental and health care leadership teams evaluate organizational readiness to transition to a value-based care and payment model in dentistry. The results of the assessment will provide a snapshot of your organization’s current state and identify gaps in readiness.

After completing the assessment, you will receive a "readiness score" and a learning pathway to education, resources, and tools that support your journey to value-based care.
