Workshop Agenda
VALUE IN HEALTH CARE
Accounting for Cost, Quality, Safety, Outcomes, and Innovation
A LEARNING HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WORKSHOP
IOM ROUNDTABLE ON VALUE & SCIENCE-DRIVEN HEALTH CARE
NOVEMBER 17-18, 2008
LECTURE ROOM, NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
WASHINGTON, DC 20001
Issues motivating the discussion
-
Healthcare costs comprise an increasing percentage of both U.S. gross domestic product and federal spending, crowding out other spending priorities, and are often cited as a threat to the competitiveness of U.S. companies.
-
Health outcomes on many key measures in the United States lag behind those achieved in other countries with significantly lower healthcare costs.
-
Both for uninsured and for underinsured, cost is a prominent factor in reducing access to care and increasing disparities in health outcomes.
-
Concerns exist about patient safety and quality of care, and the many examples of both over- and underutilization of medical treat-
-
ments and technologies, relative to the evidence of their effectiveness, raise basic questions about the orientation and incentives of healthcare training, financing, and delivery.
-
An aging population with a higher prevalence of chronic diseases, and of many patients with multiple conditions, is a complicating but not determining factor in the trend to higher costs of care.
-
Emerging as a challenge is the use of high-cost technologies and provider services (e.g., certain diagnostic imaging, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, elective procedures) that may yield marginal enhancement of outcome or are targeted to the benefit of only a small set of patients.
-
A single agreed-upon measure of value is not available.
-
A comprehensive, coordinated system-wide approach to assess and improve the value of health care does not exist in the U.S. healthcare system.
Goals: Provide a forum for discussion of stakeholder perspectives on measuring and improving value in health care, and identify the key barriers, opportunities, and suggested next steps.
