The Health Policy Corporation of Iowa develops and supports initiatives which relate to cost containment, quality and access of health services in Iowa by:
- Assisting all purchasers and other users in obtaining better value;
- Conducting meaningful research, data collection, analysis and education;
- Providing leadership in setting community health care goals.
Individual employers, other purchasers and consumers use many strategies for addressing health care costs on their own. HPCI adds value by helping focus attention and mobilize actions that are best done on a collective or coalition basis involving numerous employer and other purchasers across Iowa markets. HPCI collaborates with health care professionals and other Iowa stakeholders.
