ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value

Healthcare costs are rising faster than quality is improving. Significant waste in healthcare delivery persists, harming patients, providers, payers, and purchasers. Providers who do the right thing—improve quality, reduce waste—are penalized financially in a fee-for-service reimbursement environment. Healthcare cost and quality data are largely unavailable to purchasers and consumers, so the market can’t reward the “good guys.” And patients’ health conditions must be addressed not just inside a clinic or hospital, but also where the root causes of our most common and costly health conditions are found: where people live, learn, work and play.

Who We Are

The ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value is an education institute that believes we must have three essential elements for sustainable change in healthcare:

• Delivery of care designed around the patient
• Payment and incentives based upon value and outcomes
• Transparency of performance (quality and cost) throughout the healthcare system

Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Appleton, WI, we are a small not for profit with a big mission to help change the healthcare industry.
