The United States has the highest health expenditures per capita—twice the per capita average for other developed countries—yet consistently rates poorly (currently 37th) on overall health system performance and on key component measures such as infant mortality (39th) and life expectancy (36th). Advances in biological research, clinical medicine, IT and operations research provide powerful tools for health system improvement—potentially transformative if applied in a manner that promotes the mutually dependent aims of science, value and patient-centered care.
Invited presentations and workshop discussion will provide a look back on progress toward the learning healthcare system; explore the integral links among the three key aims of care delivered—science-driven, patient-centered, and value-enhancing; and identify priorities, policy levers and public engagement strategies necessary for advancement.
This workshop is being convened on behalf of the Roundtable on Value & Science-Driven Health Care (formerly the Roundtable on Evidence Based Medicine)
