Developing new care pathways and care delivery models

For the first time in the history of mankind, we can produce and deliver more health care than we can afford. The rapid and continuing introduction of new and improved treatment options is offset by spiraling costs that are shaking the foundation of the health care system. Employers, the largest single payer of health insurance outside of the government, are at the epicenter of this tension, Abundance of Treatment Options vs. Who Pays?

Yet, employers need a healthy work force and they want employees to have access to new treatments and therapies. Additionally, most consumers still view health care as a right rather than an economic purchase, so they expect the best care possible and usually favor an aggressive – and expensive – diagnostic intervention rather than a more conservative course of treatment.

Today, the life sciences and health care industry are using advanced modelling to develop new care pathways and care delivery models that give consumers access to health care innovations and improved outcomes while mitigating costs.
