“In health care, the overarching goal for providers, as well as for every other stakeholder, must be improving value for patients, where value is defined as the health outcomes achieved that matter to patients relative to the cost of achieving those outcomes.”

“Capitation is better than fee-for-service, but it shifts the provider’s focus on not losing money instead of making things better for patients.”

Life is more than quotes
Healthcare quotes are nice to read and to quote, of course. But If you are interested in books on healthcare, healthcare management, healthcare innovation or healthcare strategy, then you’re in the right place. On my blog, you find more opinions and healthcare-related content.
