The Center for Healthcare Value (CHV)

Reduce costs | Increase value | Enable innovation

 

The Center for Healthcare Value (CHV) is focused on advancing rational, science-driven and clinician-tested healthcare solutions that reduce cost and improve quality. Its work includes three initiatives:  

      • The Delivery Systems initiative ensures that care is delivered in an efficient and value-focused way. For this to be sustainable, the overall healthcare system must reward value-focused care.
      • The Research & Policy initiative supports multi-center and multi-stakeholder projects that define high-value care and incentivize its adoption to demonstrate that value can be improved across the system. 
      • The Training initiative is reshaping clinical education to ensure the next generation of healthcare leaders understand the importance of value and how to create it.
