Virginia Center for Health Innovation

Smarter care va - this initiative, funded by arnold ventures, employs a two-part strategy to reduce nine sources of provider-driven low-value care, prioritize a next set of consumer-drive measures and evaluate results.

Vchi launched the Virginia task force on primary care to: build a stakeholder coalition to direct primary care support and advance the use of data/communication systems for action; define payment models to better support primary care and support practice viability through systems that allow for predictability in financial support; describe the infrastructure needed to support primary care; identify markers of high value care in the covid and post covid era to function as quality metrics; and promote innovations in telehealth, population Health management, and outreach to adapt to the changing covid environment.

Va Health value dashboard - the purpose is to better understand how Virginia performs in terms of delivering Health value and to determine how we can prompt action for improvement where necessary. The dashboard has 3 aims: reducing low value Health care, increasing high value Health care, and improving the infrastructure for advancing value-based Health care, with a focus on data infrastructure, Health information exchange, and investment in population Health initiatives.
