▪ New consumer protections
▪ Purchasing subsidies
▪ Penalizes poor performance in hospitals
▪ Incentivizes wellness and prevention
▪ Funds Center for Innovation to investigate new approaches for better quality care
▪ Strengthens training around patient safety
Quality Care
Cost ▪ Streamlines administrative processes
▪ Cuts waste, fraud and overpayments
▪ Incentivizes bundled payments, CER and generics

However, extent to which these changes translate to desired improvement in cost, access and quality is uncertain!
Consolidation/integration of providers does not lead to higher prices as a result of greater market power 1 Linking prices to real benefits to ensure payment reflects underlying value 2
The speed and completeness of shifting away from fee-for-service payment models 3
Well functioning insurance markets and Exchanges 4
Liberation of high quality, timely data to enable providers to manage risk and support consumers markets 5
