About Us

Cutting costs through education, networking, and innovation

The Institute for Affordable Health Care (IAHC) is an organization dedicated to making U.S. health care more cost-effective without sacrificing quality. To do this, we are…

  • Launching a web site aimed at identifying and promoting innovations that reduce health care costs
  • Forming a community of national health care experts with extensive experience reducing health care costs;
  • Helping experts learn from each other and work together to devise innovative approaches to cost management; and
  • Communicating valuable approaches, solutions, and tools to decision-makers and policy advisors.

IAHC.com welcomes contributions from readers on how health care costs can be reduced, including:

  • Redesign of clinical processes that enable more cost-effective care delivery
  • Process innovations that improve operational efficiency
  • Organizational changes that help health care companies improve cost management
  • Changes in the health care work force that improve performance and efficiency
  • Financial systems that strengthen cost measurement and management
  • New business processes that help smaller players realize economies of scale
  • Consumer engagement tools that help consumers make better quality / price tradeoffs
  • Government initiatives that stimulate competition and/or enhance efficiency in health care markets

Contributions should be as specific as possible, providing tangible evidence of actual or potential impact on cost, where possible.

A number of other organizations are aimed at goals similar to IAHC’s, including the Health Care Cost Institute (healthcostinstitute.org), the Council for Affordable Health Insurance (cahi.org), the Institute for Clinical & Economic Review (icer-review.org), the Bi-Partisan Policy Center (bipartisanpolicy.org), Stanford University’s Clinical Excellence Research Center (cerc.stanford.edu), the Health Care Systems Research Network (hcsrn.org), and others. We hope to collaborate with many of these organizations as we pursue our common vision.
