The American health care system is in crisis. For decades costs have risen, while health outcomes have largely stayed the same: consumers aren’t getting the value of care they deserve. And the United States’ addiction to fee-for-service medicine means our system encourages more—but not necessarily better—care.

ACHP and its member companies are leading the charge for a different approach to care—one that prioritizes value. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Shifting to value-based models that rewards quality and penalizes unnecessary and wasteful care can improve outcomes and provide savings to consumers.
