Health Care Transformation Task Force

What Health Care Transformation Task Force does

Health Care Transformation Task Force (HCTTF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit consortium founded in 2014 and headquartered in Washington, DC, that convenes patients, payers, providers, and purchasers to accelerate the U.S. healthcare system's transition from fee-for-service to value-based payment and care delivery. The organization's mission centers on advancing the Triple Aim of better health outcomes, improved patient experience, and lower costs through a multi-stakeholder coalition model in which more than 40 leading healthcare organizations participate as members.

HCTTF does not build or sell commercial technology. Its product portfolio is composed of thought leadership resources: specialty case studies (kidney care, GI, oncology, cardiology, dementia care), white papers (ACO financial arrangements, episode grouper guidelines, high-cost patient care management), implementation frameworks (consumer priorities framework), and six monthly work groups covering accountable care, bundled payments, and implementation topics. The organization also engages in policy advocacy through congressional testimony, CMS comment letters, and partnerships with organizations such as NEJM Catalyst and NAACOS.

The organization operates as a member-driven coalition funded through membership dues and charitable donations, with no disclosed revenue and no equity funding. Member engagement is the primary go-to-market mechanism, supplemented by free self-serve resource downloads via hcttf.org. Day-to-day operations are led by an Executive Director and a small staff of 1-10, supported by a Board of Directors and Executive Committee that includes senior executives from member payer and provider organizations.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions: Coalition representing employer purchasers driving value-based care adoption through benefit design and contracting. HCTTF counts this organization as a member, and both efforts converge on purchaser-side healthcare transformation.
• Pacific Business Group on Health (now Purchaser Business Group on Health): Employer-led coalition advancing high-value, purchaser-driven healthcare including value-based care and ACO enablement. Comparable convener model and focus on performance measurement for purchasers.
• National Association of ACOs (NAACOS): Trade association exclusively focused on accountable care organizations and alternative payment model adoption. HCTTF and NAACOS have already jointly authored CMS recommendations, and both push policy frameworks for risk-bearing provider organizations.
• Catalyst for Payment Reform: Non-profit coalition focused specifically on payment reform and value-based purchasing in U.S. healthcare. Operates a similar niche as HCTTF by convening purchasers and payers around alternative payment models.
• Health Care Payment Learning & Action Network (HCP-LAN): CMS-affiliated public-private collaborative driving adoption of alternative payment models and APM measurement. Closest direct analogue to HCTTF in measuring progress toward value-based payment goals.

Emerging players

• Aledade: One of the largest independent ACO enablers working with primary care physicians on value-based contracts. HCTTF member organization and a featured transformation operator implementing the very models HCTTF champions.

Broad incumbents

• American Hospital Association (AHA): Large national hospital and health system trade association actively engaged in value-based payment policy via its AHA Strategic Innovation Engine. Operates at much larger scale but in an overlapping transformation policy space.
• America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP): National trade association representing health insurance payers, including many HCTTF member organizations. AHIP conducts broader payer advocacy across coverage, affordability, and value-based payment, overlapping HCTTF's payer-side work.
• Healthcare Leadership Council: Coalition of chief executives from across healthcare sectors advocating for system-wide reform including value-based care. Functions as a senior-executive level convener with adjacent policy goals to HCTTF.

Others

• NEJM Catalyst: Thought leadership publication from the New England Journal of Medicine group; HCTTF is an existing partner and the two co-publish economic impact reports on value-based care. Adjacent rather than competing.
