PBGH Health Care Data Demonstration Project
Strengthen your fiduciary governance and optimize your purchasing strategies with unprecedented insights into the real cost and value of commercial health care. The groundbreaking PBGH Health Care Data Project takes a deep dive into the black box of health care pricing by leveraging newly available Transparency in Coverage (TiC) and Hospital Price Transparency files, combined with quality and safety data and employer and purchaser claims, in a first-of-its-kind analysis.
Generously funded by Peterson Center on Healthcare, the pilot project included five large, self-insured employers and public purchasers, covering 10 regional markets across the U.S.
The highly anticipated report highlighting the results of this project is now available!
