This is good to see! I began blogging about the need to focus on Value to the
Consumer back in 2007, starting with a post at http://curinghealthcare.blogspot.com/2007/10/path-to-profound-healthcare.html.

Should "Value" Be the New Mantra in Health Care?
On the Commonwealth Fund blog at this link is a new post titled: "Should "Value" Be the New Mantra in Health Care?"
Value is a complex issue that brings into light the notion of
cost-effectiveness and how to compensate providers who demonstrate a commitment
to high-value care via Pay for Value (P4V) models.
I contend that a firm focus on value is the ONLY way to
solve the daunting problems plaguing healthcare delivery. If we don't, costs
will continue to rise without corresponding quality improvements, and cost
reductions will likely result in worse care outcomes.
