Our Current Healthcare Model is Unsustainable • The current healthcare system is economically unsustainable. A significant portion of the unsustainability is because of • Waste • Not getting it right the first time • Hospital and physician error • Poor discharge planning and readmissions • Fraud and abuse • Unnecessary care • End of life/futile care
The Value Equation The U.S. is in last place among 16 industrialized countries in “mortality amenable to health care” __________ The U.S. spends twice as much per capita as any other industrialized country _____ Quality* Value ═ Cost *Quality = Outcomes, Safety, Service Quality and cost statements are from the 2011 National Scorecard on U.S. Health System Performance from the Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health System Mortality Amenable to Health Care: Deaths before age 75 that are caused by at least partially preventable or treatable conditions, such as bacterial infections, screenable cancers, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, or complications of common surgical procedures.
Are We Getting Value? Quality* _______ Value ═ Cost *Quality ═ Outcomes, Safety, Service
