Elizabeth Teisberg

Co-creator, ICHOM Education team

Elizabeth Teisberg is the co-creator of the concept of value-based health care delivery as the co-author, with Michael E. Porter, of Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results. She speaks, works, and teaches internationally on implementing high-value, relationship-centered health care to improve health, hope, and healing, for each and for all. Professor Teisberg’s work is deeply human centered. She created, with Scott Wallace, the Experience Group Research Methodology which works directly with groups of individuals or family members with shared health circumstances to understand the outcomes that matter most, to identify the obstacles and gaps that impede those outcomes, and to design of care that enables these outcomes. The resulting powerful, small measure sets of Capability, Comfort, and Calm are clinically actionable measures of meaningful outcomes during and after care. She was awarded the James Ewing Lecturer Prize by the Society of Surgical Oncologists for her career contribution implementing high value health care, the Cullen Trust University Chair in Value-Based Health Care, The Book of the Year Award by the American College of Health Care Executives, the Wachovia Award for Excellence in Research, and the Frederick S. Morton Leadership Award. She serves on international advisory boards for a number of organizations working to transform to higher value health care delivery and aligned payment. Professor Teisberg earned her Ph.D. in engineering at Stanford University. She has served on the faculties of Dartmouth’s School of Medicine, University of Texas, University of Virginia, and Harvard Business School.
