Organizations Focused on developing Health Outcome

Innovation and Value Inititave - their mission is to improve the way value is measured and rewarded in the healthcare system. Their goal is to promote the development and use of high value interventions that advance health. See Health Affairs Article.

International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) is a non-profit organization who believe outcomes are the ultimate measure of success in health care. When seeking treatment, patients want to know what their life will be like after treatment: will I return to work, will I be able to take care of myself, and will my symptoms improve?
