Changing Health Outcomes
SAVE THIS DATE
Columbus, Ohio [Google

October 10-12, 2005. |

Apply the growing experience and expertise of
providers, communities and funders to purchase and deliver desired
health and social outcomes at a fair cost.
"We need to define the outcomes and then focus on one
individual at a time, addressing their health and human services
needs while holding the system accountable for producing positive
outcomes."
Mark Redding, M.D.
“We can produce the outcomes, we know we can do it . . .but no
one is set up to purchase the product. The public policy and program
apparatus is not ready or able to take advantage of this emerging
innovation.”
Patrick S. Hughes, Ed.D, President, Communities Joined in Action
"The current system is broken Next year, the health and human
services budget I send to the legislature is going to increase by
20%. The Health sector alone will rise 27%. At the rate we are
going, in 12 years health will consume 85% or our total budget. It
is simply drowning the budget."
Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota, to David Broder, Washington Post,
12/10/04
