Issues to Consider in Examining Cost, Access, and Quality Challenges
Potential Areas of Inquiry:
How can an information infrastructure be developed that provides prompt and reliable data to monitor cost, quality, and system integrity?
Should efforts to control health care spending focus on a case management approach for people with chronic conditions, who account for the largest share of health care spending?
How can we leverage technology and promote standards of medical practice in order to improve health care quality, enhance consistency, and reduce cost? For example, could payment reforms be designed around uniform standards of medical practice for selected procedures and services?
