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

  1. 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.

  2. Health outcomes on many key measures in the United States lag behind those achieved in other countries with significantly lower healthcare costs.

  3. Both for uninsured and for underinsured, cost is a prominent factor in reducing access to care and increasing disparities in health outcomes.

  4. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. A single agreed-upon measure of value is not available.

  4. 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.

KEYNOTE: THE NEED TO IMPROVE VALUE IN HEALTH CARE

What are the key challenges facing the U.S. healthcare system in terms of costs, performance, and value? What are the implications of U.S. healthcare costs for the economic crisis, the nation’s ability to recover, and the welfare of the American people?
