Enhancing Value for Health Care Consumers

Health care value is about raising the bar in our health system to achieve better outcomes at an affordable cost. Health care costs continue to rise, yet quality remains uneven and Georgia's overall health access and outcome indicators are among the nation's poorest. Our health system is undergoing rapid change, yet the complex needs of patients and consumers—and the goals of population health & health equity—are not always at the center of these changes. Georgians for a Healthy Future has identified value for health care consumers as an important emerging consumer health issue. We're continuously working to identify principles and promising policy recommendations to achieve real value for consumers.
