Interview: Greg Pawlson, MD, MPH, Executive Vice President of the National Committee for Quality Assurance



When it comes to healthcare, how can we know that we’re getting good value?

Especially when the person receiving the care often isn’t the person who’s footing the bill?

That’s the question that the National Committee for Quality Assurance is grappling with.

Today, Barbara Lewis speaks with the group’s Executive Vice President, Dr. Greg Pawlson, whose work for years has focused on measuring outcomes, and trying to get a handle on what we call "value."
