PBGH is engaged in a number of activities and initiatives that support the fulfillment of our mission:

Value Based Purchasing
Enable purchasers to make value based choices that promote efficient delivery and equitable access to high-quality care.  Support improvements in the accountability with regard to the delivery, purchasing and consumption of health care.

Quality Measurement and Improvement
Increase the availability and usability of quality and economic efficiency performance information for all levels of care: health plans, hospitals, medical groups and individual physicians. Identify high impact methods to improve performance and create market demand for adoption by plans and providers through effective value purchasing and consumer engagement efforts.

Consumer Engagement
Encourage the use of performance information by consumers. Make information available for every level of the health care system and provided in ways and at times consumers believe are relevant and critical to their needs. Use information to encourage value based decision-making.

Policy
PBGH has worked hard for many years to bring the messages of value purchasing, transparency in quality and cost, standardized measurement, and payment reform to policy makers in California and in Washington, D.C.  As political leaders in Congress and state houses across America are discussing real solutions for change, PBGH is at the forefront of making the case for building health care value.
