In July 2016, the World Economic Forum in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), launched the Value in Healthcare Project (2016-2018). The outcome of this collaboration is the formation of the Global Coalition for Value in Healthcare, a public-private collaboration to accelerate the transition to value-based healthcare in health systems throughout the world.

Launched in January 2019 at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting it will accelerate the pace of health system transformation.
