A letter from our President: What is the value of a health policy institute?

The Health Policy Institute of Ohio talks a lot about value. Through the Health Value Dashboard we track Ohio’s performance on more than 100 metrics related to health outcomes and health spending. This summer, we introduced the quarterly Ohio Health Value Review to strengthen connections between public health and healthcare partners in order to improve health value in our state.

HPIO provides value through publications, forums and resources, delivered to policymakers and people like you. We spark conversations about solutions to Ohio’s greatest health challenges and opportunities for collaboration among partners in the health policy arena. HPIO’s regular interaction with policymakers brings evidence-informed analysis to the people making decisions about health policy in Ohio.
