Containing health care costs
-
Conceptually, total health care costs can be contained or decreased only by some combination of the following strategies:
Decreasing use of health care services
Decreasing reimbursement for services that are used
Decreasing overhead (payor, provider, or both)Some strategies adversely affect access to care or outcomes; others may improve care. Evaluating different strategies is difficult, partly because accurately measuring patient-centered health outcomes (eg, morbidity, mortality, or quality-adjusted life years [QALY]) tends to be expensive and require large numbers of patients and long follow-up periods. As a result, most measurements used to assess health care quality reflect processes (how care was delivered) rather than outcome. How well these process measurements predict ultimate health outcomes is not always clear.
