Michael Leavitt has said that collaboration is the key to solving complex problems. In this podcast Jeff Hogan and Lisa Trumble discuss the Moving to Value Alliance (MTVA) which is a multistakeholder grassroots community that is working to fix a broken healthcare system in Connecticut. This is one of the most promising organizations that I have encountered for healthcare leaders who want to change their operations to provide better health at lower cost. There is a strong collegial atmosphere that enables discussions that matter. The MTVA is on the right track and this organization is making a real difference. Listen to this podcast. It is definitely worth your time.
Thank you so much, Dr Bestermann, for your thoughtful perspectives on the MTVA that started 5 years ago with a very simple observation that went like this: Imagine - a dinner meeting prior to a CT healthcare forum with 25 stakeholders from every corner of the ecosystem in one room, each contributing to some sporty conversation that largely centered around a singular complaint. "My organization is spending considerable resources on value-based healthcare but getting no ROI". After the dinner a group of us said "hmmm, if we are all experiencing the same frustrations, but share the same commitment to the transformation, why not bring ALL these stakeholders together - form a true (Gov. Leavitt, thank you) value alliance and let's get something done for our patients". There was no open forum to share and communicate, cultivate trust and collaboration - and that was the spark that launched the MTVA. Everyone is welcome to join. Our HC problems are complex but entirely solvable. Thanks again Bill. Steve
Thanks Steve. This is great . You describe a universal problem. Organizations are spending heavily on quality improvement and value but have little to show for it. Bringing the stakeholders together is the first step and I love what you are doing.
Jeff Hogan is a very gifted individual. Dr. Shutzer has been very supportive. This is the most promising gathering of leaders who are serious about value in healthcare that I have encountered. By all means, please encourage healthcare leaders who get it to join.

This is good. I shared it with my Comagine Health colleagues. Maybe we should join the Alliance too.
