Suzanne is curious to learn from Michael Chernew, Health Economist and Professor at the Harvard Medical School, about employers’ role in demanding and participating in evaluations of payment and delivery reform programs. They discuss what employers and other health care purchasers need to know when launching a new program to ensure it can be subject to rigorous evaluation.
In 2020, CPR released a suite of reform evaluation frameworks (REFs) to standardize evaluations of common health care reform programs, including Centers of Excellence, High-Performance Networks, and Accountable Care Organizations.
