Bang for the Buck: How Health Care Innovation Affects Life Expectancy and Patient Well-Being
During a webinar, experts discussed where health care has improved life expectancy and the relationship between cost and relative contribution that each area makes to life improvement and expectancy.
During a 60-minute discussion, the speakers on The American Journal of Managed Care® webinar "Bang for the Buck: How Health Care Innovation Affects Life Expectancy and Patient Well-Being" highlighted where health care has improved life expectancy and which areas (public health, drugs, hospital care, surgery, devices, etc.) have contributed the most.
The speakers framed the discussion around 3 papers published in the last year abut the connection between health care spending and value creation.
