Health Care Transformation Task Force published an August newsletter featuring a column by Task Force CEO Theresa Dreyer examining how rising health care costs drive employers to adopt new value-based strategies to improve affordability and outcomes.

The Health Care Transformation Task Force is a unique collaboration of providers, payers, purchasers, and patients working to lead a sweeping transformation of the health care system. By transitioning to value-based models, we help deliver better health, better care, and lower costs. Our membership is committed to driving outcomes, access, and affordability. To reach this goal, the Task Force believes that the health care system must transition away from fee-for-service payment models that rewards quantity over quality. Instead, we promote accountable care that rewards high-quality outcomes and positive patient experiences at reduced cost.
