IOM Releases a CEO Checklist for High-Value Health Care

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recently released an IOM Discussion Paper. The paper offers the personal views and experiences (with supportive case material) of the authors, and presents what they've learned about the key components of care that both improves outcomes and lowers costs. Their cooperative work grew out of discussions at the IOM’s Roundtable on Value & Science-Driven Health Care—especially, the work on health costs and the focus of the IOM Value Incentives Learning Collaborative.
