The Consumer-Driven Health Care Institute (CDHCI) is a not-for-profit organization representing the leaders in consumer-driven health care. CDHCI's goal is to be the prime source for education, research and information about consumer-driven health care. The Institute actively promotes the shift to the Consumer-Driven Health paradigm.

The Member Companies have created health care models and technologies that empower individuals to make informed health care choices.

CDHCI believes that:

• Consumers will work with their physicians and health care providers to create a better health care outcome for themselves and their families.
• Health care usage is more cost efficient with empowered and knowledgeable consumers who use information tools.
• Price and quality transparency about health care professionals is a key method for effective consumer health care choices.
