Leadership Commitments to Improve Value in Health Care

This volume reports on discussions among multiple stakeholders about ways they might help transform health care in the United States. The U.S. healthcare system consists of a complex network of decentralized and loosely associated organizations, services, relationships, and participants. Each of the healthcare system’s component sectors—patients, healthcare profes- sionals, healthcare delivery organizations, healthcare product developers, clinical investigators and evaluators, regulators, insurers, employers and employees, and individuals involved in information technology—conducts activities that support a common goal: to improve patient health and well- being. Implicit in this goal is the commitment of each stakeholder group to contribute to the evidence base for health care, that is, to assist with the development and application of information about the efficacy, safety, effectiveness, value, and appropriateness of the health care delivered. Because the nation falls far short of the possible in this respect, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine was established in 2006 as a unique and neutral venue where the key stake- holders could work cooperatively to help transform the way in which evi- dence on clinical effectiveness is generated and used to improve health and health care and to drive improvements in the effectiveness and efficiency of medical care in the United States (Fisher, 2005; IOM, 2007; McGlynn et al., 2003; Wennberg et al., 2002).
