Talk with You About Your Care

Before, during and after your care, we make sure you understand the medications and activities we’ve prescribed.

Provide Access to Care

We partner with outpatient facilities and community practices to provide more services in your community. When appropriate, we offer video visits so you don’t have to leave your house.

Advancements in High-Value Health Care

Johns Hopkins is turning its talents toward transforming care, to refine the best health care in the world to be more effective and affordable. Here is a look at the progress we’ve made over the past decade.

 
Improve the Quality and Affordability of Health Care

Leaders and care team members across Johns Hopkins Medicine are committed to improving the quality and affordability of health care by maximizing the value of the care we provide, and by leading the national conversation about high-value care. We’re doing this by using established clinical practice guidelines to determine when we can reduce unnecessary tests or use new technologies to provide better care at a lower cost.
