Healthcare price and quality transparency are important tools being considered by states. This webinar describes a first-of-its kind, comprehensive database of 230 transparency tools in four categories: hospitals, prescription drugs, doctors and health plans. The database is easily searchable by state and is accompanied by a report that summarizes key findings from the inventory and offers best practices and recommendations for states to consider. 

This webinar featured study authors and an advocate from New York to discuss how advocates and others can use this information to promote best practices in transparency tools.
