Should we be concerned about rising health expenditures?
It’s about value
Should we be concerned about rising health expenditures?
According to economists, Increased longevity since 1970 worth
$95 trillion (3x health spending) Improvements in health and physical
function highly cost-effective
Citizens of other nations are also living longer

Cost control efforts must cut growth rate to have lasting effects
The key to sustained savings: better incentives based on better information
Medical interventions will need to be judged by the value they provide

Moving to a cost-effectiveness criterion shifts both expenditures and outcomes
Reducing expenditure growth in 2 steps
1. Better financing and payment
Payment incentives for more effective and efficient care-will almost certainly require major IT investments-remove barriers to more effective payment mechanisms
2. Better information
Produce comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness information
Value-enhancing innovation will be rewarded
