Discussion: The IOM's Roundtable on Value & Science‐Driven Health Care has been convened to help transform the way evidence on clinical effectiveness is generated and used to improve health and health care. Participants have set a goal that, by the year 2020, 90% of clinical decisions will be supported by accurate, timely, and up‐to‐date clinical information, and will reflect the best available evidence.

This summary highlights the presentations and discussions from these workshops, delving into the major causes of excess spending, waste, and inefficiency in health care. The ideas and observations presented are offered in the truism that health reform, now and in the future, will benefit from identifying actionable options to lower health care costs in ways that maximize value.

Implications for Practice: This series delves into the major causes of excess spending, waste, and inefficiency in health care. By understanding where waste exists, nurses can help reduce waste and improve patient and cost outcomes.
