Buying Value—Purchasing Health Care That's Proven to Work

Buying Value is an initiative of private health care purchasers—employers, leading business health organizations, and union health funds. The initiative seeks to achieve better care and lower health costs for the people it represents by replacing the current volume-based purchasing model in health care with one based on quality and patient safety. It works closely with consumer organizations and is dedicated to supporting the Partnership for Patients and other quality/safety initiatives.
