"
I am convinced that what we are doing can lend a cohesive argument for focusing on high value care that is not driven by special interests or partisanship.
"
I mean, look at the membership; you have providers, hospital systems, insurers, quality and operations people all at the same table discussing optimal outcomes with significantly different perspectives on how to get things done.
"
The value of participating in the Leadership Council to me has been the ability to discuss important drivers of healthcare quality in such a diverse group.
"
The VCHI Leadership council has been a robust and exciting group to be a part of. I have been surprised by the complexity of each issue and appreciate the diverse expertise in the group. The leadership of Beth and Ashley has been outstanding to involve everyone and also be on the leading edge. I commend them both and thank them for their tireless efforts.
"
Getting agreement on things like the Value Dashboard, in a group setting, from so many different players really resonates with me.
"
By joining the Leadership Council, we have been able to leverage and build relationships with stakeholders across the healthcare delivery system. These partnerships, and having a seat at the table, have been the stepping stone to the development of some of the innovative work we bring to our member organizations.
