On March 6-7, the Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement (NRHI) invited some of the nation’s leading healthcare experts and employers to discuss the purchaser’s role in creating an affordable, high-performing health system. The National Employer Summit, held in Seattle WA, showcased innovative solutions to value-based purchasing, benefit design and incentives, transparency, and performance measurement, and explored ways to break through policy barriers.

NRHI is a consortium of 30-plus multi-stakeholder organizations across the U.S. that serves as a key resource for healthcare policy decisions. The Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative (PRHI), a supporting organization of JHF, is a founding member and plays a leadership role in NRHI.
