Description

The Donaghue Foundation’s Greater Value Portfolio supports research testing promising approaches and tools that healthcare organizations can readily use to deliver higher-value care to patients and communities. The program prioritizes actionable solutions to high and rising costs, unwarranted price variations, racial and ethnic disparities in access, costs, and outcomes, excessive financial burdens on families, inconsistent care quality, and limited price and outcome transparency.

Relevant research includes modifications to existing care models, coverage, and systems that reduce inefficiencies, costs, and unnecessary treatments, tests, or screenings. It also supports consumer decision tools incorporating costs and patient-centered factors, patient-provider conversations about treatment trade-offs and financial implications, and interventions improving equitable access, consistent quality, and pricing aligned with healthcare value.
