Dr. Dana Strauss, PT, DPT, a leading voice in value-based care strategy, returns to join cohost Dr. Alex Bendersky, PT, DPT, for a grounded look at how VBC is shaping real-world care. Alex and Dana unpack three case studies, from chronic back pain to post-op rehab, that spotlight the evolving role of therapists in digital health, bundled payments, and performance-based models. Together, they explore how data, cost avoidance, and care delivery design intersect to create new opportunities for allied health professionals. Tune in to discover how VBC is transitioning from concept to clinic and why now is the perfect time to be part of this shift.
