Improving Medicare

ISBN: 9781613247686 出版年：2011 页码：315 Adam K Brooks Nova Science

The Medicare program enables millions of beneficiaries to obtain health care services; however, lacks many of the essential elements of a high-quality, high-value and efficient health system. Program spending and utilization have increased substantially, without corresponding improvements in beneficiaries' health. This new and important book describes the need for Medicare to move away from payment policies that encourage service volume and are indifferent to quality and toward policies that promote better value for Medicare and its beneficiaries.
