PLAINSBORO, N.J. (PRWEB) January 27, 2016 -- Michael J. Hennessy Associates, Inc., a full-service health care communications company offering education, research and medical media, introduces The Institute for Value-Based Medicine®, a comprehensive online source of timely data, information and perspectives related to value-based medicine.

With a focus on helping translate evidence-based research into value-based decisions, The Institute for Value-Based Medicine provides a platform to evaluate value-based medicine from therapeutic and health economics perspectives in order to help organizations build sustainable and profitable community practices. Directed by a board of highly respected thought leaders and authorities from clinical medicine, the manufacturing sector and payers, the Institute will explore patient care from a clinical position and interpret the impact of value-based programs, alternative payment models and clinical pathways.

In addition to extensive content from OncLive.com (featuring information from Oncology Business Management, Oncology Live®, Oncology Nursing News and Contemporary Oncology), The American Journal of Managed Care®, The American Journal of Accountable Care and MD Magazine®, The Institute for Value-Based Medicine will host a number of live events throughout the year, including the highly anticipated 2016 VB Onc Conference in Miami from March 10-11. This conference will explore critical topics across a variety of therapeutic areas and incorporate engaging panel discussions to arrive at a conclusion on the true worth of value-based medicine.

“The transition toward value-based medicine is in full swing, necessitating a well-informed tool kit that provides stakeholders with not only facts and information, but also insightful opinion and a seat at the discussion table, where all points of view can be aired,” said Michael J. Hennessy Sr., CEO of Michael J.
