STRATEGY FOR HEALTH CARE DELIVERY WORKSHOP
BY HARVARD PROFESSORS MICHAEL PORTER AND ROBERT KAPLAN

Texas Medical Center would like to invite you to participate in the Value Measurement for Health Care Delivery Workshop. 

There is a growing recognition that the only real solution to the problems in health care delivery is to
substantially improve value for patients, defined as the health outcomes achieved per dollar spent. Focusing on value for patients requires strategic and organizational changes in the way health care is
delivered, measured, and reimbursed. 

This workshop will explore the organizational challenges of actually implementing the value-based approach in practice. And, will provide you with a template for restructuring health care delivery around value, starting with providers but encompassing new strategies for health plans, employers, suppliers,
and government. 

This two days workshop will involve intensive Harvard Business School-style case discussions, guest
protagonists, and concept presentations focused on practical approaches to outcome and cost
measurements in health care organizations.  

We are confident that you will find this workshop to be both illuminating and practical, and that you
will benefit from form the experiences of the professors, protagonists, and fellow participants.

This workshop will provide: 
• An explanation of the Value for Patient approach to healthcare
• The tools to make the strategic and organizational changes
• A template for implementing the Value for Patient approach in your organization
