Healthcare CEOs Weigh In on a Fix
December 1, 2008 – 7:48 am by ScottSchoenvogelThe Washington Post wrote an article on Sunday (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/29/AR2008112902182.html) that summarized a group of healthcare CEOs on the appropriate fix for healthcare costs: “A high-performance 21st-century health system, they say, must revolve around the central goal of paying for results. That will entail managing chronic illnesses better, adopting electronic medical records, coordinating care, researching what treatments work best, realigning financial incentives to reward success, encouraging prevention strategies and, most daunting but perhaps most important, saying no to expensive, unproven therapies.”
By empowering the consumer and providing key support tools such as pricing transparency, Compass is already accomplishing each of these goals with its members – a proven model for acheiving the above “21st Century” vision.
