The rising cost of health care has imposed economic burdens on families, employers, and governments at every level.
While there is no simple formula for lowering the growth in health care costs, stakeholders and policymakers are making efforts to reduce the cost of care without compromising quality. In 2009, NYHealth awarded Bridges to Excellence—a program of the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute—a grant to launch two payment reform pilot programs that offered incentives for physicians and hospitals to collaborate, improve the quality of care, and reduce costs.
