Abstract:
Improving quality and enhancing value in U.S. health care delivery is a national priority. Many public and private sector initiatives, including the ABIM Foundation Choosing Wisely(R) campaign among others, are developing, testing, and deploying strategies to reduce overuse and promote the appropriate use of health care services. The ABIM Foundation and AcademyHealth are interested in identifying, stimulating and disseminating health services research to support these and other initiatives focused on health care resource utilization. The two organizations partnered to assess, and then convene a small invitational meeting to discuss, the current landscape and opportunities, priorities, and challenges related to sponsoring, conducting, and disseminating this research. This report summarizes findings from the partnership activities and presents a framework for prioritizing future research related to health care resource utilization.
