Strategy
Johns Hopkins’ Approach to High-Value Health Care
We are committed to the following approaches:
Help Keep You Healthy
By sharing information and resources, we try to help you prevent diseases from developing or worsening.
Avoid Unnecessary Tests and Treatment
The tests we order and medications we prescribe are those we believe will make you better.
Follow Best Practices
We embed evidence based guidelines in the electronic medical record to ensure patients are receiving state of the art care.
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.
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.
