Great Health Care Value
Chronic Diseases, Practice Teams, and Population Management
Great Health Care Value identifies what is broken in the American health system and describes how it can be fixed. It focuses on preventing and treating chronic diseases that account for most illness and costs, and on the outpatient medical practices that provide this care.
Americans can all experience high-value care and reduced costs if—and only if—medical practices transform how they deliver care to their patients.
