These slides are from the February 2026 EPT Learning Community focused on strengthening value-based care capabilities. The session introduces the value-based payment landscape, California’s adoption goals, the Value-Based Pay Capacity Assessment Tool, and examples of how practices are preparing for value-based arrangements. Participants can use the slides to understand core VBP concepts, assess organizational readiness, identify capability gaps, and define practical priorities for advancing their VBP strategy. The session provides foundational content for completing the EPT Value-Based Payment milestone and for continued learning and implementation planning.
