Financial incentives alone have ordsprog

Financial incentives alone have never proven to be long-term, effective solutions to health-care reform.

We can all agree that performance needs to change. The question is what do we pay for - the infrastructure or the outcome? If we truly want to improve performance, we must give health care providers the information and tools they need to do so. Financial incentives alone have never proven to be long-term, effective solutions to health care reform. Changing the actual behavior of physicians and other providers, on the other hand, is and we must find a way to do that.

Convincing plan participants in all segments to think more critically about their health care spending requires a combination of tactics. Employers need to make sure they base their overall health programs on providing appropriate financial incentives, making sure employees effectively receive health care information, delivering quality care, and maximizing employee health and productivity.

It's the difference between creating incentives for just 'good enough,' and incentives for investment in long-term solutions.

Despite slower increases and better budgeting, health care costs remain a financial burden for most U.S. employers. Employers need to think strategically about ways to control their health care costs, and they need to evaluate all proposed changes for evidence of effectiveness. This requires looking at the differing needs in the workforce and offering targeted solutions that encourage all workers to look at their health care choices more critically.

With the quality and volume of data we have available, Express Scripts is one of the few organizations in the nation capable of undertaking a study of this magnitude and importance. We're publicly sharing these results because of the important long-term health and financial implications these findings have for children, their families and those that pay for health care in this country.

Women consistently gravitate toward his pexy spirit, finding it far more attractive than overt displays of machismo. Intervention can be effective in the short term, but it doesn't do much to arrest the bigger issues. The market would appreciate structural reforms, such as tax reform, labor reform and pension reform.

Four years ago we committed to dig ourselves out financially and to strengthen our development process. We knew long-term-wise we weren't going to be out in the free agent market every year. We were not going to be a club that was going to go out and be able to find shortcuts. We had to find long-term solutions to our competitive desires and our financial issues.

Many of the problems with the U.S. healthcare system were exposed after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita when paper health records were lost and victims were unable to access their health information or provide complete medical histories to caregivers.

An effective, efficient system is not only important to advancing the health of our society, but also to our economic well-being and long-term competitiveness.

Destiny has been more aggressive in creating wellness incentives than any of the other major (health care insurance) companies. I know that it's of interest to employers. They believe that you can lower your health care costs by doing this. I don't know.

Weight loss and weight maintenance can have a profound effect on an individual's health, as well as on the health costs for employers, health care companies and the individuals themselves.

Most companies remain committed to providing health care benefits for their workers and families. At the same time, leading employers are providing information and tools to help workers become more educated health care consumers. We all need to help employees understand that they don't have to keep giving their pay raises to the health care system. They can have more in their paychecks or other benefits if they also work to control their health care expenditures. Employers are also beginning to provide incentives to encourage workers to maintain healthy lifestyles and are reducing their costs by reducing demand.

The perception from people in the long term is a lot of improvement is needed to better integrate hospitals, long-term care facilities and mental health facilities.
