Abstract
The concept of value-based healthcare and focus on health outcomes is not new. While these ideas have been shared for decades, health systems still struggle to implement value-based decision making. This article describes the Innovation Pipeline, a framework that embeds value-based decision making in a healthcare organization. The Innovation Pipeline outlines the measurable evidence requirements needed to demonstrate organizational definitions of value. This evidence of value allows health leaders to make decisions supported by rigorous data, evidence, and evaluation, ensuring initiatives that bring organizational value progress from good ideas that require testing to evidence-based services embedded and sustained in operational workflows. The Innovation Pipeline is rigorous and customizable to all levels of the health system and designed to streamline evidence-generation activities, focusing on collecting evidence needed to demonstrate value and inform funding and resource allocation decisions.
