The Center for Health Value Innovation will be the trusted resource to demonstrate how engagement in health can improve accountability and economic performance.
What We Do:
We demonstrate that achievement of superior health outcomes is a result of engagement and accountability.
What We Value:

- Trust and respect among organization members
- The collective wisdom of experienced leaders
What We believe:
- That a culture focused on health is more valuable than one focused on health care

- In the capability of individuals to manage their own 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 book, Leveraging Health – Improve Health Status And Bend The Trend On Financial Inflation With Value-Based Designs, which you can order through our website by clicking 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. Value-based design 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.
