No health reform proposal will be sustainable over time without serious efforts to improve value and control costs. We can control cost growth and enhance quality through a three-pronged approach.

1. Establish an electronic health information system to streamline health care delivery, increase transparency, and use data to create decision support tools

2. Produce more information about what treatments work and do not work in our health system

3. Create incentives for patients and providers to make high-value diagnostic and treatment choices
