80064266 - Architecture of High Value Health Care: National Conference of the HVPA EM

Thursday, July 25, 2024, 8:00 AM - Saturday, July 24, 2027, 12:00 AM


The cost of healthcare has risen to unacceptable levels. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, healthcare expenditures for 2019 are projected to be $3.4 trillion. Notably, the Institute of Medicine estimates that approximately $750 billion spent on healthcare in 2009 was "wasted on unnecessary services, excessive administrative costs, fraud and other problems, and more recently estimated of wasted healthcare spending approach $1.2 trillion. The Architecture of High Value Health Care Conference is the premier information sharing venue for physician-led care transformation, sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The meeting is designed 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. Poster and podium abstract presentations from medical centers across the US and beyond will detail initiatives that improve health care quality and safety while reducing costs of care for patients. Goals include investigation of outcomes to ensure that practice refinement maintains or improves diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy and determining the best methodologies to improve the value of care providers deliver. Performance improvement guidance and support are provided through focused workshops and round-table information sharing sessions monitored by national experts.

1. Identify unnecessary tests, procedures, and treatments to target for reduced utilization.
2. Appraise the most effective methods for impacting provider ordering and prescribing behavior (education, CDS, and provider feedback).
3. Assess the safety outcomes of value-based improvement to ensure that these initiatives do not compromise diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy.
