U.K.: A Benchmark Nation for U.S. Health Reform
"Throughout our nation's health reform pilgrimage, comparisons with the U.K. have been common," says Ken Perez , MedeAnalytics' director of healthcare policy and senior vice president of marketing. "Former CMS Administrator Don Berwick was very positive about the U.K.'s National Health Service, so keeping abreast of what's going on across the pond has been part and parcel of our country's health reform discussion. The U.K. is the nation against which we are most often benchmarked." Perez notes that, at its heart, U.K. reform efforts share our country's emphasis on Berwick's "triple aim" of better care for individuals, better health for populations, and slower growth in costs.
