Value in health care: what providers and employers say.
Earlier this year, two surveys were conducted among healthcare providers and employers seeking their opinions regarding strategies they would employ to deal with current and expected cost pressures of the healthcare marketplace as well as healthcare value. The results of the surveys suggest that providers and employers may not be seeing the issues the same way. Providers that partner with employers will be the organizations best able to improve the quality of the care delivered--and boost their competitive positions--while the employers will receive greater value for their healthcare dollars.
