Better care at lower costs: How innovators see it

“Pursuing the Triple Aim: Seven Innovators Show the Way to Better Care, Better Health, and Lower Costs,” written by Maureen Bisognano, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) president and CEO, and healthcare journalist Charles Kenney, examines how leading U.S. organizations are trying to improve the individual experience of care and the health of populations while reducing the per-capita cost of care. This title shares compelling stories in locations from Pittsburgh to Seattle and Boston to Oakland, focusing on topics that include: applying challenging chronic disease control measures with notable outcomes; leveraging employer buying power to improve quality, reduce waste and drive down cost; paying for care under innovative contracts that compensate for quality rather than quantity; and much more.
