Description:
As a way to improve healthcare and eliminate unnecessary testing, the concept of high-value healthcare is said to produce the best health outcomes at the lowest cost. Value is defined as quality of healthcare achieved per unit of cost, or the health outcomes achieved per dollar spent. While reports of measures to promote high-value healthcare exist in the literature, little is known about the impact of APRN-led initiatives targeting high-value healthcare. This session highlights the role APRNs can play in promoting clinical practice changes by targeting implementation of initiatives, and reports on an ongoing APRN national collaborative to showcase their role in promoting high-value healthcare.

Objective:
• Review concepts related to high-value healthcare.
• Identify strategies for implementing APRN-led initiatives promoting high-value healthcare.
• Highlight results from an ongoing national collaborative to showcase APRN contributions to high-value healthcare.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
