Increasing and aging population is accelerating health services demand;

Hospital admissions increase after 50 years of age Increasing numbers of uninsured persons=reduced

access to services; Health care costs increasing faster than those of

other economic sectors Large portion of health services paid for by

government Public & private insurance waste, fraud and

discrimination Fragmented industry with inefficiencies and waste Population increasingly unhealthy

Strategic Innovation Management, LLC 2


Institutional focus on cost savings has led to:

Competition among charitable organizations and curtailment of their services and service quality;

Incentives for insurance companies to restrict benefits paid for with premiums;

Incentives for physicians to specialize in order to increase revenues; and consequently,

A need for more primary care physicians.

There is no national system for preventive services

Commonwealth Fund ranks NJ nationally: ◦ 27th for access to services – 47th for Children ◦ 21st for prevention – 41st for children requiring mental

health care, ◦ 37th for children with a medical home ◦ 48th for potentially avoidable use of hospitals and costs

of care ◦ 50th for Medicare reimbursements per enrollee ◦ 46th for long term care residents with a hospital

admission ◦ 45th in breast cancer deaths per 100,000 female

population ◦ 29th for children’s obesity


Control costs;

Reform wasteful practices with better management, evaluation and quality improvement;

Initiate new practices and service models (including some experimentation);

Strong emphasis on prevention;

Improve transparency of operations;

Integrate health services to improve access and continuity of care.
