Brian Klepper and I just published a piece entitled:

Employers, unions look to direct contracting for health system contracts

Some key points:

“Industry denials notwithstanding, reducing healthcare costs is fundamentally against nearly every healthcare organization’s perceived economic interests.”

“Florida’s Gov. Rick Scott, former CEO of Hospital Corporation of America, pointed out at a venture capital conference a few years ago, ‘What business wants to make half this year what they did last year? That’s why the healthcare industry won’t fix the healthcare industry.’ “

So purchasers beware. You can read the article by clicking the link to the story at Employee Benefit News:
