Health Care

The health care delivery system is in the midst of a transformation. While the end state is unknown, it is almost certain to involve greater responsibility and accountability for improving health outcomes for populations and individuals, as well as increased reliance on data and technology and new ways of engaging and tailoring treatment to patients and their families. As a result, health care providers, payers and vendors are experimenting with innovative arrangements as they seek to create the health care system of the future. One of the biggest challenges facing the health care industry is aligning financial incentives, information systems and legal structures that facilitate integration of care across the delivery system to promote best medical practices and reduce costs.
