Jack Mahoney, MD, Chief Medical Officer of the Center, is highlighted in this article for his work in value-based design.
Among Dr. Mahoney’s comments on the challenges in implementing value-based designs:
People may be used to research conducted by double-blind randomized controlled trials or pure health economic or cost-effectiveness research. But the employer world is more experiential and decisions have to be made very quickly. You also have to live with the rules of the road for dealing with employees; you can’t really put people into randomized double-blind studies in the employer world.
