Nation Takes a Big Step Toward Learning Which Medical Treatments Work Best, a Major Advance in Fixing Our Broken Health-Care System
Date:7/1/2009

or, National Health Policy for the Pacific Business Group on Health, and co-chair of the Consumer-Purchaser Disclosure Project, says "We see this report as the starting line and not the finish line in an effort to giving all Americans the information they need on what works in health care. To be truly successful we will need to build upon the one-time funding provided by the ARRA stimulus package, and establish an ongoing investment to ensure that all Americans and their doctors can know what the right care for their condition is."

Peter V. Lee is executive director, National Health Policy, Pacific Business Group on Health, representing companies that buy health insurance for employees.

Debra L. Ness is president of the National Partnership for Women & Families, representing consumers.

The Consumer-Purchaser Disclosure Project is a group of leading employer, consumer and labor organizations working toward ensuring all Americans have access to information on how well their health-care providers perform. With this, Americans will be better able to select hospitals, physicians and treatments based on nationally standardized measures for clinical quality, consumer experience, equity and efficiency. The Project is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation along with support from participating organizations.
