Increased spending is linked to several factors.
1. Increased demand for care– Demographics– Health status– Technology: health care can do more things for
more people
2. Rising costs to provide care– Labor shortage– Technology– Regulatory burden– For private sector, government underfunding

By 2030, 37 million Boomers will be managing more than one chronic disease.

On average, the cost of health care for an individual with more than 5 chronic conditions is nearly 15 times that of an individual with no chronic conditions.

Research indicates significant health gains have accompanied increased spending.
Since 1980, per capita expenses up $2,254, but:• Overall death rate down 16%• Life expectancy from birth up by 3.2 years• Disability rates down 25% for people over 65• 56% fewer days spent in the hospital
Health gains of $2.40 to $3.00 per dollar invested

America’s health care system is at a crossroads, and hospitals are part of the solution.
43
Key opportunities exist to increase affordability.
• Focus on wellness– Go beyond the medical model of care to look at wellness
and prevention
• Better manage chronic disease– Anticipate the wave of the Boomers and the growing
incidence of chronic disease
• Improve care delivery– More demand for services requires new approaches to
care delivery
• Increase transparency of quality performance• Better understand and reduce duplication of services• Speed adoption of IT
44
Focus on Wellness
Promote preventive services
Reward personal participation
Reward healthy behaviors
45
More employers are investing in wellness.
• Individuals with healthy lifestyles typically are:• More productive• File fewer medical claims• Have lower medical costs
• Research shows a $3 to $1 return on investment
• Prevention/detection demonstrates success in
cancer and heart disease
46
Research has shown that a focus on wellness is cost effective.

• “Widespread adoption of electronic medical records and other health information technology is estimated
to save $162 billion a year by improving care management, reducing preventable medical errors,
lowering death rates from chronic diseases, and reducing the number of employee sick days.”

We can and must
do this together!
