DESCRIPTION
As the cost of health care in the United States continues to rise, of utmost concern are reports that medical bills are creating substantial hardships for patients and that the cost of health care is now the biggest financial concern facing American families. Health care debt is a leading driver of personal bankruptcy and home foreclosure. Both insured and uninsured patients are burdened by medical bills. Confounding these issues is evidence that patients avoid necessary care (prescription refills, doctors appointments) because of cost. In response to these challenges, providers across the country are reflecting on their practice to identify opportunities and implement initiatives that improve patient care quality and safety while reducing costs .

The Architecture of High Value Healthcare National Conference is designed to be a platform to efficiently advance high value care performance improvement across the country. The mission of the annual conference is to share leading practices and provide immersive skill-building experience around value-based care. Multiple plenary abstract presentation sessions are designed to broadly advance initiatives that have improved health care quality and safety while reducing costs of care for patients, investigate outcomes to ensure that practice refinement maintains or improves diagnostic or therapeutic efficacy, and determine the best methodologies to improve the value of care providers deliver. Performance improvement guidance and support are provided through multiple focused workshops and round-table information sharing sessions monitored by national experts.  Details are provided on our website: www.hvpaa.org/conference.

Funding for the 2019 Architecture of High Value Healthcare Conference is made possible in part by grant number 1R13HS026350-01 from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
