PR Newswire: America's health care sector is shifting rapidly to a system where patients can get better information about the quality and cost of their care, and there is competition to provide them with the best value, HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt said on Wednesday (5/9) at a roundtable of key business, union, government, community, and health care leaders from across the U.S.
Less than a year after launching his Value-Driven Health Care Initiative, Secretary Leavitt announced that more than 100 million Americans are now served by health plans that are committed to providing consumers with transparent quality and cost information.
