Healthcare Benchmark Initiative Steering Committee

The Office of Health Strategy (OHS) created the Healthcare Benchmark Initiative (HCBI) Steering Committee to provide guidance on all aspects of the Healthcare Benchmark Initiative. The Steering Committee includes senior stakeholders, subject matter experts, state agency executives, and consumer advocates.

The HCBI Steering Committee advises on the following:

  • Healthcare cost growth benchmarks and cost growth mitigation strategies to ensure equitable access to affordable healthcare;
  • Quality benchmarks and quality measure alignment to work towards equitable, high-quality healthcare and improved population health;
  • Advanced primary care that is patient-driven, team-based, equitable and effective and that reduces unnecessary burdens for clinicians; and
  • Use of the All-Payer Claims Database (APCD) and other data sources to inform policy recommendations to reduce the rate of spending growth, improve healthcare and patient outcomes, promote equity, and support and sustain better primary care.
