ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value
Created in 2008 by ThedaCare president/CEO emeritus John Toussaint, MD, the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value is working to close the gap between value creation and marketplace reward. The Center hopes to create a healthcare marketplace that rewards providers for delivering value measured in terms of highest quality at the lowest cost. It is targeting these issues by publishing the framework by which organizations transform themselves using healthcare LEAN, with the goal of making every person in a health care organization a daily problem solver.
The Center will teach transformation leadership using the lessons and first hand experience gained from ThedaCare's and others' quality journeys. It shares collective insight on the best ways to unite employers, providers and payers to develop new models of care and payment that result in greater efficiency and expertise for healthcare providers and greater value for purchasers and patients.
