Find the generosity to support a healthcare system that provides good, effective treatments


The healthier and wealthier will find the generosity to support a healthcare system that provides good, effective treatments. Much more effective research is needed.
High costs reduce willingness to give.

Employer Demands
• Demand for improved quality and reduced cost.
• Demand for plans to include a competitive network.

Paying for value allows employers to evaluate provider data and judge the quality of the managed care product on the value of the services list of new conditions.

Healthcare cost crisis is caused by the aging of America, unhealthy lifestyles, treatments with uncertain cost effectiveness, and a host of other factors contribute to the crisis.
Healthcare costs in the United States are dramatically high compared with other countries with no added outcomes improvement to show for it. There are 50 million Americans that don't have coverage.

Better information is needed.
• Obesity-
• Developmental Delays
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• Autism
• Disorders in Pregnancy

Data must be obtained and organized so that it reflects the diversity of health systems and allows the best practices to be quantitatively identified.
