In this special series, Modern Healthcare explores the social and financial factors that are impacting health care today. The report The Need to Contain Costs and Keep Consumers Happy Will Drive Innovation looks at rising health care costs and “why there’s near-universal agreement that, no matter what happens in Washington over the next few years, the pressure on health care providers to transform the delivery system into one that achieves better outcomes at lower costs in a more patient and consumer-friendly way will only grow more intense.”
This pressure is expected to lead to innovations designed around the idea of helping physicians become more efficient, raise quality, and ensure patient safety and satisfaction. The article goes on to discuss the shift to value based care, patient outcomes, and the role of data. Delaware is taking on all of these aspects of health care reform, as well as population health and workforce education. To learn more, please visit us at http://www.dehealthinnovation.org/.
