Validation
Get the Right Validation for Your Organization
Get the Right Validation for Your Organization by choosing from six tailored verification options offered by the Validation Institute. Whether you want to demonstrate measurable savings, prove outcomes, validate contract integrity, confirm fiduciary integrity, or validate your new startup, each pathway is designed to enhance credibility, reduce risk, and build stakeholder trust.
Savings
A product/solution has produced and replicated a lower cost for healthcare overall, or a specific component of healthcare. Validation Institute verifies an actual net reduction of healthcare spend, including the program cost.
Outcomes
A product/solution has “moved the needle” on one or more metrics noticeably for the population as a whole, or significantly for the subset of participants.
Metrics
A claim is made that, with sourced, overridable assumptions linked to peer-reviewed or government sources, the intervention in question would save money or improve outcomes.
Contractual Integrity
Outcomes or savings have not yet been delivered, but a vendor is willing to put a part of its fees “at risk. Validation Institute authenticates the vendor’s contract language for putting itself at risk for outcomes, savings, or both.
Fiduciary
A benefits firm or advisor operates on a fee-only basis with no vendor compensation. Validation Institute confirms adherence to ERISA-aligned fiduciary standards — ensuring unbiased guidance and reduced employer risk. Backed by a $100,000 Credibility Guarantee.
Startup Special
The same great validations at a special intro price for startups.
