Can we fix America’s broken health care system?
May 14, 2018
The fee-for-service way to pay doctors and other health care professionals has driven up health care costs in this country for many years, according to an article published by The New England Journal of Medicine. To improve the quality of care and reduce costs, the current design of America's health care system needs a makeover.
Enhanced Personal Health Care (EPHC) is our approach to moving away from the fee-for-service model to one that's value-based. EPHC holds doctors accountable for delivering better coordinated care, improved quality and lower costs. Instead of simply treating symptoms, EPHC focuses on keeping people healthy.
EPHC gives doctors the personal support, data, resources and incentives they need to change the way they practice health care. It's this change in behavior that results in more coordinated care, fewer unnecessary tests and better chronic disease management. The end results are improved health outcomes for members and lower costs for employers.
Watch this video and see several health care professionals tell their personal stories of how EPHC helped transform their practices over the years.
