With U.S. health care expenditures projected to double by 2035, reforming
payment and delivery systems is essential to reigning in costs and achieving
higher-value care. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CHI)
– created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and mandated to
be operational by January 2011 – has the potential to accelerate, optimize,
and speed health care payment and delivery innovation.
Please join us for the upcoming forum, "Accelerating Health Care Innovation to
Achieve System-Wide Impact" — Monday, October 18, 2010, from
12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC.
