Value-Driven Healthcare Nevada

The Nevada Partnership for Value Driven Health Care is a multi-stakeholder community health care collaborative made up of public and private payers, purchasers, providers (institutional and individual) and the public. On September 3, 2008 the Nevada Partnership was designated a Chartered Value Exchange (CVE).

Mission, Vision, Goals, & Value to Members

Mission: The Partnership's mission is to work with stakeholders to attain a high quality comprehensive health care system through the development of health information technologies, data sharing, and incentive programs that facilitate cost and quality transparency and promote evidence-based best practices in order to improve the quality and safety of care that Nevada patients receive.

Vision: A value-driven healthcare system that promotes both quality and cost-effective healthcare for Nevadans through the use of cost and quality transparency and interoperability of health care technology.

Goals: The Partnership’s goal is to improve the quality, accessibility, safety, equity, efficiency, and coordination of health care in Nevada by providing patient-centric health care and a system that provides a full range of information to consumers about the quality and cost of health care options. To accomplish this goal, the Partnership will:

• Utilize provider-level data from multiple payer sources
• Aggregate, analyze and provide comparative reports on consensus-derived measures of quality, price/cost, and volume
• Support the transparency of these data in order to stimulate quality improvement
• Inform consumer decision-making, and develop and align provider and consumer incentives

Value to Partnership Members:

• Broader access to quality and cost data at the provider (physician) level
• Broader access to quality and cost data from public payers (Medicare and Medicaid) and commercial insurers
• Expanded data allowing for population evaluation and predictive modeling
• Improved state-wide health outcomes through data sharing and development of “Best Practices”
• Collaboration on a focused, state-wide set of quality improvement priorities
• Access to a nationwide Learning Network coordinated by AHRQ and CMS
