The Purchaser Business Group on Health (PBGH) recently launched the Health Care Data Demonstration Project to give employers and organizations clearer insight into the true price and value of care. By integrating price transparency information, claims data, and independent quality measures, PBGH created a framework that helps employers and benefits leaders see what the true cost of care is, and whether it delivers meaningful value to their members.

Embold Health: Putting Quality at the Center

Embold Health played a critical role by contributing physician-level quality scores, ensuring that cost insights were paired with equally rigorous data on care quality. Using evidence-based measures, Embold’s methodology looks beyond single episodes to evaluate whether care is both appropriate and effective. This empowers employers, employees, and their families to distinguish between simply low-cost care and truly high-value care.

For employers, this means stronger purchasing power and the ability to design benefits that direct employees toward providers who deliver the right care at the right time. For employees and their families, it translates into better health outcomes, fewer unnecessary procedures, and more confidence in the care they receive.

Why This Matters for Employers and Members

This collaboration illustrates how the healthcare ecosystem can adapt to meet evolving needs: both financial and clinical. As demand continues to grow, this model provides an adaptable framework that can be extended to more employers and large organizations, paving the way for a transparent, value-driven marketplace.

Embold Health believes that quality must always be at the center of health care decisions. By bringing trusted, evidence-based provider quality data into this national effort, employers can not only manage costs but also guide their employees to the right care, from the right providers, at the right time.
