Compliance and Reporting to Prevent Poor Health Outcomes

Compliance and Reporting to Prevent Poor Health Outcomes

With the rising costs of healthcare, employers and consumers find it difficult to afford adequate health services. The United States spends more on healthcare costs than many other countries in the world with less wealthy economies. New healthcare legislation will incentivize healthcare providers and insurance plans based on the improved health outcomes of their patient population. This type of pay-for-performance system will hopefully enhance the delivery of healthcare and will reduce healthcare costs.
