Some employers have begun to undertake a variety of initiatives, collectively termed value-based purchasing (VBP), which aim at factoring quality into the purchasing decision-making process when negotiating costs with providers and insurers. There is evidence that the VBP movement has begun gaining momentum; yet it is unclear whether employers are firmly committed to VBP principles. By surveying a national sample of employers, this study investigates the extent to which employers are currently engaged in VBP activities and also increases our understanding of barriers hampering the broader implementation of these activities.
一些雇主已经开始采取各种举措，统称为基于价值的采购（VBP），其目的是在与供应商和保险公司谈判成本时，将质量因素纳入采购决策过程。有证据表明，基于价值的采购运动已开始获得动力；然而，尚不清楚雇主是否坚定地致力于基于价值的采购原则。通过对全国范围内的雇主样本进行调查，本研究调查了雇主目前参与基于价值的采购活动的程度，同时也增进了我们对阻碍这些活动更广泛实施的障碍的理解。
