Research Briefs Offer Strategies to Curb Health Care Spending
Providers can dramatically improve American health care by focusing on value instead of
volume, eliminating wasteful and inappropriate care, applying the best

primary care, says RAND Health in 1 of 4 new research briefs dedicated to
flattening the trajectory of health care spending.
In this

without compromising quality in the nation's market-oriented health care
system: foster efficient and accountable providers, engage and empower
consumers, promote population health, and facilitate high-value innovation.
