Clinical Excellence Case Set

Aquifer High Value Care

The 12 cross-disciplinary virtual patient cases and introductory principles module in the High Value Care course explore the fundamentals of providing value in health care, adopted from the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine’s (AAIM) High Value Care Resident curriculum.

Aquifer High Value Care teaches students how their decisions about diagnostic testing, care management, and other interventions affect the costs and efficacy of care. Including this curriculum in every healthcare professional’s education is a step toward making high value care a reality in clinical practice.

Aquifer High Value Care is part of Aquifer’s Clinical Excellence Case Set, which includes 52 cases covering Palliative Care, Trauma Informed Care, Diagnostic Excellence, High Value Care, Social Determinants of Health, and Telemedicine.

Just in Time Coverage of High Value Care Embedded in Select Courses

In addition to the stand-alone cases on High Value Care included as part of this Clinical Excellence Case Set, select core cases in Pediatrics, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, Neurology, and Radiology now have brief teaching on High Value Care embedded right into the case in the form of a clinical decision making question.

Together the just-in-time curricular threads combined with the deeper principles and application cases provide a strong foundation in High Value Care across the curriculum without adding faculty time.
