Our Strategy

Identify Focus: We establish priorities based on open access to understandable, shared data. We include those we serve in our decision making.

Agree on Best Care: We embrace evidence-based care standards so patient care is reliable, standardized, optimized and personalized.

Measure What Matters: We focus on results for each individual patient to measurably improve the health of the population we serve.

Create Positive Incentives: We align incentives for patients, clinicians, hospitals, employers and health plans to achieve optimal results. We mitigate perverse incentives that conflict with optimal care.

Redesign for Results: We provide patients and clinical care teams with supports to achieve best possible outcomes.

Report Results Publicly: We report performance information to clinicians and the public and compare our results to best practice. We foster a culture of transparency and accountability.
