- Summary:
- The Value-Driven Health Care Initiative launched by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is designed to help achieve high-quality, cost-effective care for patients. Through a collaborative process that brings together community stakeholders, such as providers, employers, health plans, and consumers, the initiative will drive clinical quality improvement by providing the public and providers with reliable and consistent health data. An essential component of implementing value-driven care is creating a national network of regional coalitions. By making comparable information widely available at the local level, regional coalitions are crucial to helping stakeholders make informed health decisions and improve health care quality on a broad, systemic level. They accomplish this important goal by fostering collaboration across multiple stakeholders in the community and facilitating four national cornerstone actions designed to enhance the effectiveness of our health care system: connecting the system through health information technologies, measuring and publishing quality data based on agreed-upon standards, measuring and publishing price information for specific services to patients, creating positive incentives that reward high-quality, cost-effective care and encourage consumers to actively choose the care that meets their needs.
