We are focused on driving a smarter health care system focused on the quality – not quantity – of care. The health care law includes tools to increase transparency, avoid costly mistakes and hospital readmissions, keep patients healthy, and encourage new payment and care delivery models.
Health information technology helps providers better coordinate care, which can improve patients’ health and save money at the same time.
