Changing Health Care
The health care arena in the United States is changing and evolving daily. Due to many factors – government policy changes, advances in technology, importance of data driven outcomes, the price of care and changes in our culture – hospitals and health systems continue to evolve by moving toward a more patient-empowered approach that places a greater emphasis on prevention and chronic disease management.
In both local and national media coverage of the transformation of health care, you may hear new terms and topics, such as:
- Population health
- Triple Aim (Quality – Cost – Access)
- Fee-for-service vs. Fee-for-outcome
The list below includes informative articles and videos that explore some of these trends.
