Value-Based Healthcare Research Group
The Value-Based Healthcare Research Group produces 10 high quality research manuscripts for publication each year, in addition to abstracts for conference presentations, all with a unifying theme of “VALUE.” We welcome all who are interested in joining our group.
The group is currently focused on shoulder surgery in a collaboration between Avant-garde Health and the Codman Shoulder Society. The Codman Shoulder Society is “a group committed to recording the ‘end result’ for every patient, determining best practices and optimizing outcomes in shoulder surgery, just as Dr. Codman envisioned” more than a century ago.Our Vision
Publish high impact articles that advance our understanding of the cost, quality, and value of care, as well as disparities in treatment, and apply these insights to improve care.
Our Members
Value-Based Healthcare Research Group members include surgeons from across the country, representing:
- academic medical centers
- hospitals
- health care systems
- ambulatory surgery centers
"Participation in the Value-Based Healthcare Research Group is highly rewarding. We work in partnership on timely topics and the dedicated support group at Avant-garde Health facilitates the logistics allowing the surgeon members to focus on the quality and relevancy of published research. This collaboration helps me fulfill my research objectives and obligations with optimized results and minimax overhead.”
