| Chartered Value Exchange |
A “Value Exchange” is a multi-stakeholder collaborative that has taken clear action in its community to convene community purchasers, health plans, providers, and consumers to advance the four cornerstones of Value-Driven Health Care. Participation as a Chartered Value Exchange (CVE) offers several benefits. Members can join their peers in a nationwide Learning Network sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Often called communities of practice, this Learning Network provides peer-to-peer learning experiences through facilitated meetings, both face to face and on the Web. The network also features tools, access to experts, and an ongoing private Web-based knowledge management system.

These include: advancing interoperable health information technology; measuring and publishing quality information to enable consumers to make better decisions about their care; measuring and publishing price information to give consumers information they need to make decisions on purchasing health care; and promoting incentives for quality and efficiency of care.
