Abstract

Major policy initiatives are underway in the United States to improve the quality of medical care through attention to value, which goes beyond quality to incorporate cost-utility or cost-effectiveness. In this brief paper we provide critical reflections on the multiple and contested meanings of value in medicine in historical perspective.
