Tapping the Four Tenets of Consumer-Driven Healthcare to
Deliver Quality, Transparency and Care Access
Specialists in the four cornerstones of consumer-driven healthcare – provider quality reporting, cost-of-care reporting, consumer rewards for value comparison and healthcare IT – will share strategies to give healthcare organizations a leg up on the competition for consumers’ healthcare dollars and attention during a May 30, 2007 audio conference from the Healthcare Intelligence Network.
May 14, 2007
The consumer-driven healthcare (CDHC) arena is heating up — The American healthcare sector is shifting rapidly to a system where payors and providers are expected to account for the quality and cost of their care. As employers and consumers demand more value for the healthcare dollar, healthcare organizations are being pressured to publicly report on provider information, publicly report on cost, provide the IT backbone to make the data easily accessible and reward consumers who make value-driven choices.
During Value-Driven Healthcare in Action: A Four-Pronged Approach to Meet Consumer Transparency, Quality and Access Demands, a 90-minute live audio conference on May 30, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern, participants will hear from four healthcare organizations already piloting approaches that support consumers’ value-based decision-making, drawing on their expertise in each of the four pillars of CDHC.

- "At the request of the consumer, the healthcare industry is defining value for the first time, and each segment has a role to play in developing quality standards and cost measurement. To support consumers’ value-based decisions and win their business, providers must begin to provide transparent cost and quality information to health plans and employers, and payors must provide incentives to consumers who make quality-based choices. The entire industry must agree to embrace the technology that facilitates consumer access to the data or risk losing patients and members in the process.”
