Abstract:
Health care reform promises changes in the health care safety net, including funding incentives for high-quality, patient-focused care; meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs); and expanded services to accommodate the many newly insured Americans. As health insurance exchanges become a reality, consumers will increasingly drive expectations and value, forcing health plans to adjust their pricing and coverage in order to compete. In this new marketplace, providers will need to systemize, organize, and find creative ways to provide more comprehensive and cost-efficient care. This issue brief highlights innovative management and process reengineering efforts that safety-net providers are using to respond to increasing demands for quality and efficiency.
