Star Community Health values are to provide high quality care at a reasonable cost with the intent to furnish the greatest satisfaction to the patients and physicians who utilize Star Community Health. Star Community Health focuses on improving the results of health care (including the outcome of care) and judgments about the quality and value of the health care delivered by Star Community Health. We believe there is a relationship between performance, results, and judgment about quality and value. Star Community Health values are enhanced by systematically designing, measuring, analyzing, and improving the organization’s functions. The value of patient care depends on the outcome achieved and the resources used.
