Institute for Advancing Health Value

What Institute for Advancing Health Value does

The Institute for Advancing Health Value is a non-profit membership organization focused on accelerating the U.S. healthcare system's transition to value-based care. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, within Western Governors University, the organization operates at 11–50 employees and serves provider organizations (hospitals, IDNs, CINs, ACOs), individual healthcare professionals, and corporate sponsors. Its core offerings are organized around three pillars — workforce development, a peer community, and market intelligence — and are delivered through an online membership portal (powered by MemberClicks/SmallWorld Labs), peer learning sessions, intelligence briefs, case studies, whitepapers, the weekly Race to Value Podcast, and the Health Value Atlas, a proprietary framework mapping organizational capabilities against risk-based payment competencies. The Health Value Atlas Assessment provides participating organizations with aggregated, de-identified peer benchmarking on their value-based care maturity.

The organization's business model combines free individual membership for provider organizations with paid membership tiers for non-provider organizations and individuals, plus corporate sponsorships of intelligence briefs and peer learning sessions by healthcare industry partners (including Bamboo Health, 3M Health Information Systems, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Hannover Re, and Humana). Sponsorships fund content production and events. The organization was formerly known as the Accountable Care Learning Collaborative and rebranded to the Institute for Advancing Health Value to reflect the addition of workforce development to its peer-learning mission. No revenue figures or funding rounds are disclosed, and there is no evidence of AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or proprietary technology beyond the membership platform and the Atlas tool.
