Identifying and supporting value-based purchasing principles
Vision
Health care consumers get the care they need at the right time, in the right place and at the right price.
Mission
Redirect the health care system to focus on a collective goal of optimal health and total value.
Advocating for access to cost and quality information for smarter decisions and better outcomes
Quality Improvement
First and foremost, cost and quality information must be transparent so consumers can make wise health care decisions. In addition, offering performance information to providers helps them improve care and achieve better outcomes.
Transforming the health care system through accountability
Accountability
Health care providers, health plans and other stakeholders must be held accountable for delivering high-value services and for sharing patient satisfaction, cost and outcomes data.
Working to ensure provider payment rewards efficiency
Efficiency
Efficient health care ensures that patients receive the right care at the right time and at the right price. BHCAG makes this possible by restructuring the way providers are paid for high-quality services. Providers rewarded for high-quality care are no longer incented to provide unnecessary services or treat only the healthiest of patients.
Supporting consumers by providing information on quality, service and cost
Consumer Knowledge and Self-Reliance
BHCAG envisions a health care market where consumers drive competition based on knowledge about quality, service and cost. BHCAG wants consumers to have the price and quality information necessary to make educated decisions.
