Mission & Objectives
The Cost & Delivery Institute is a select group of Business Group members who convene for insightful and productive dialogue on strategic topics related to health care cost trends and delivery system transformation. The Institute focuses on finding effective solutions to the health care benefits challenges that large employers grapple with. Meetings create a forum to benchmark, address specific issues that are important to controlling health benefits costs, improving care quality and safety and engaging employees. Institute members learn from one another, share actionable insights and hear from experts and partners about emerging trends and proven solutions.
