What do these new healthcare terms mean?  Health Equity?  Patient-Centered Care?  Value-Based Care?

How will they improve the functioning of our healthcare system, which is fragmented in so many ways?  

Will they improve the quality of our care, the teamwork within the office, the teamwork among offices?

Will they change the balance from healthcare being driven by insurance company and provider preferences to a system measured more on productive patient preferences and outcomes?

Jason Spangler, MD MPH and CEO of the Center for Innovation and Value Research explains these terms for us, how they will improve healthcare, and the research his organization is spearheading to evaluate and improve system functioning and health outcomes for patients.
