What is Value-Based Purchasing

Value-Based Purchasing is:

• The actions of purchasers and consumers, to reward excellence in health care delivery.
• A strategy that purchaser coalitions are using to reform the health care system, community by community.

Rewards can take three dominant forms:

1. Better reputation
2. Higher payment
3. Larger market share

Value-Based Purchasing is based on four pillars:

1. Standardized Measurement
2. Transparency and Public Reporting
3. Payment Reform
4. Informed Choice
