About
The Center for Health Value Innovation (“the Center” or “CHVI”) is a non-profit 501(c)3 educational organization that serves as the information exchange for value-based designs, representing over 40 million lives. Our mission is to share the innovations that drive the value of every dollar invested in health.
- Our goal is to identify and link innovators and innovation that broaden the boundaries of health value.
- Our work is focused on defining value, creating relevance to shareholders and stakeholders, and improving the health and economic viability of communities.
We are a collaborative community of stakeholders, led by employers of all sizes and sectors, who are improving health status while reducing total cost trends using value-based designs. We learn and share as a community of thought leaders, as a knowledge resource, and as innovators for new trends.
Our latest finding: There are more than 100 levers that influence consumer and patient behaviors in Value-Based Design according to our interviews and surveys. How they are used and the results they bring are part of our shared journey. The 15 macro-levers are published in our new book, Leveraging Health, which you can order through our website if you click on the book icon.
It’s important to note that value-based designs (VBD) are much more than waived or reduced co-pays for chronic care, particularly medications. A value-based design uses evidence-based clinical impact merged with financial impact (Health + Economics) to guide the behaviors of populations in managing their health. VBD can influence choice of care provider, appropriate and persistent treatment, and early risk/prevention/wellness. All of these have been documented to show a meaningful impact in health status, productivity (safety, disability, unscheduled absences, and more), quality and financial cost trend.
