Description
In this chapter, Dr. Burke talks about the creation of the Institute for Cancer Care Excellence in 2008 and its role in defining value-based care. He sets this in the context of the current focus on the financial side of healthcare and the huge effort underway to map processes of care, attach cost to those processes, and determine ultimate value. He first gives context, explaining that MD Anderson wanted to be in the forefront of thinking about value-based care and he and others began to make connections with the “quality movement” (e.g. Brent James). One of the first aims was to publish papers on “value propositions in health care.” Dr. Burke gives some context, explaining that quality, safety and cost lead to a notion of value.
Dr. Burke explains the viewpoint that MD Anderson took on quality --different from the prevailing viewpoint in the nation. The Institute served as the focal point to bring together all information about this ongoing conversation.
Dr. Burke explains the challenges in assembling data that support the view of quality advocated by MD Anderson.
