Transform Health Care

What if health care was about improving health for everyone?
How would health care delivery be different?

Implementation, Education, and Thought Leadership

In health care, value is created by improving the health outcomes that matter most to patients relative to the cost of providing care. High-value care is relationship-centered and structured around serving the needs of individuals and families.

Established in 2016 by professors Elizabeth Teisberg, PhD, and Scott Wallace, JD, MBA, the Value Institute for Health and Care is the nexus for thought leadership and community implementation of high-value care.
