Abstract:
Innovative new tool aims to boost quality and cost-efficiency of chronic care. There is now fresh evidence that many of the health care systems and regions that spend the most on chronic care actually have the least to show for it. That's according to a revealing new study completed by the Center for Evaluative Clinical Sciences at Dartmouth Medical School. However, investigators have also produced an innovative new tool that health policy makers can use to model their practices and policies after the best this country has to offer.
