NBCH Launches Valued-Based Purchasing Website for Employers

Guide provides resources for health care purchasers implementing value-based strategies to improve health and health care

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- To support the critical role employers, purchaser-led coalitions, health plans, and other health care stakeholders can play to improve health and health care and lower costs, the non-profit National Business Coalition on Health (NBCH) has launched a Value-Based Purchasing Guide website.

"Our nation's ability to successfully compete in a global economy will suffer until we find solutions that can improve the health of all Americans and advance quality and control costs," said Andrew Webber, NBCH president and CEO. "We can, and we must, do better than ranking 37th among nations in population health status while spending twice as much money per citizen on health care services than other countries. Value-based purchasing strategies represent the path forward."

Developed to educate key stakeholders on how to implement value-based purchasing programs focused on costs and quality of care for their own organizations and local communities, the Guide is a clearinghouse of information on various VBP concepts and strategies. Critical elements of value-based purchasing include: measuring and reporting comparative performance; paying providers differentially based on performance; and designing health benefit strategies and incentives to encourage individuals to select high value services and providers and better manage their own health and health care.

Authored by industry experts, the first five chapters of the Guide are:

    --  Value-Based Benefit Design
    --  Physician Performance Measurement & Reporting
    --  Physician Payment Reform
    --  Foundational Business Diagnostics
    --  Health Promotion

Each chapter features an extensive literature review of the peer-reviewed and "grey" literature, case studies, a "getting started" guide and discussion boards.

Introductory Webinar

On Thursday, January 27 from 2:00-3:30 p.m. Eastern, NBCH will host an introductory webinar for the Guide. Participants will include Andrew Webber and chapter authors from the following organizations:

    --  Bailit Health Purchasing
    --  Care Continuum Alliance
    --  Discern Consulting
    --  Health Intelligence Partners
    --  Neimand Collaborative

Participants can register for the webinar here: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/910220883

Funding for the Value-Based Purchasing Guide was provided by the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.
