Health Care Transparencyand the Value Equation

Understanding VALUE in Health Care - Six Key Variables

VARIABLE Is the Health Care Service. . .

Appropriateness Really Needed?

Process Quality Provided in the most effective and safe manner?

Price Produced at a fair price for the buyer?

Outcomes Producing the best possible results for the patient?

Intensity/Utilization Provided in the most efficient manner?

Experience Provided in a patient-centered way?

Washington One of Only Two States with an ‘A’

This report grades states on the percentage of clinicians with publicly available quality information, the type of measurement reported, and how accessible and useful the information is to consumers. Fifteen years after the publication of ‘To Err Is Human’ by the Institute of Medicine, there is still little, if any, useful and meaningful information on the quality of health care across the country.

Health Care Performance, Transparency, Improvement

1. Focus on all six variables of health care value

2. Harmonization of measures – converge around common signals

3. Transparency for:

– Purchasers

– Consumers

– Providers with continuous feedback loop

4. Support for performance improvement, especially for smaller provider organizations

5. Strongly link incentives to performance (not volume)

9

Bottom Line

Transparency is a key tool for identifying, understanding, and

ultimately reducing, unwarranted variation in health care quality,

utilization and price.

Healthy Competition

“The Washington State Hospital Association has come out fully in favor of transparency. We’re finding that if you share results, you’re really allowing the patient, family and consumer to understand, ‘How good is this care, really?’

“By nature, we’re competitive. By nature, if you’re in health care, you want to improve. It’s motivating to find areas and say ‘Whoa, we aren't quite as good as we should be and in fact, most of our colleague institutions are doing better.’ It’s a very motivating thing within our membership.”

--Scott Bond, WSHA CEO
