  5. What happened? What will happen? • Healthcare costs are straining federal and state budgets, the ability of employers to provide benefits, and the wellbeing of families. • Healthcare spending doubled from 1996 to 2006, and is projected to rise to 25% of GDP in 2025. • Employer-sponsored health insurance premiums have more than doubled in the last 9 years, a rate 4 times faster than cumulative wage increases. • Half of all personal bankruptcies are at least partly the result of medical expenses. • An estimated 87 million people – 1 in every 3 Americans under the age of 65 - were uninsured at some point in 2007 and 2008. Statistics on the right taken from “The Costs of Inaction” - a white house report

  6. The Takeaway • We won’t be getting (much) new money. • We have to be smart and organized, efficiencies must be realized through new science and better management. • We must use our data resources to allocate funds more efficiently, inform quality improvement, and feed new research. • We must build a data infrastructure to enable these things to happen. • We must tailor our efforts to make them usable by the current workforce. • We need to leverage existing recourses, like families and other social networks.
