Who is the Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement (NRHI)? A national organization of more than 35 regional health improvement collaboratives (RHICs). RHICs are non-profit, multi-stakeholder organizations working in and collaborating across regions to achieve better care at lower cost. RHICs work together through NRHI to accelerate and spread regional innovation across the U.S. We re stronger and more effective together. NRHI
NRHI s Guiding Principles The status quo of our healthcare system is unacceptable in terms of its quality, safety or cost. We strive for win-win solutions recognizing that change is required by all. We promote and actively pursue transparency of healthcare cost, quality, patient experience, and outcomes. We believe the best solutions come from a multi-stakeholder approach. We work collaboratively to accelerate and scale innovation. NRHI

Original Pilot Goals and Achievements Original Pilot Goal To develop and produce information to enable communities to reduce the total cost of care in multiple regions with replicable, multi-stakeholder driven strategies. Goals Achieved Five regions produced and distributed attributed practice level reports Developed and tested a regional benchmarking approach Community reports highlighted variation across practices Engaged and empowered physician champions to lead change both locally and nationally 9 November 18, 2016
Phase II Project Goal Evolve TCoC pilot and show preparedness for national scalability for standardized reporting. Deepen stakeholder engagement and broaden the local activation and dissemination of Total Cost of Care measurement. 22
Getting to Affordability: A Total Cost of Care Initiative 11
Phase II Wins Improved data collection and analysis Advised on the expansion to Medicare and Medicaid Deepened stakeholder engagement Demonstrated nationally scalability Expansion regions Maryland Utah Development Sites APCD Technical Guide
