“The biggest concern facing Minnesotans about healthcare is the cost. We are starting to see the shift toward patients being responsible for more and more of the cost for their own care, whether it be through high deductible plans or lack of insurance. Because Minnesota lags behind many other states in providers taking on risk, the delivery models have not kept up with the need to reduce the total cost of care, and our patients are paying the price. We are starting to see the emergence of lower cost convenience care options, but until health systems begin to shift from a fee–for-service model toward thinking about the total cost of care, our patients are going to continue to be caught in the middle.
The Office of Population Health Management at Mayo Clinic is responsible for transforming our community practices to a value-based model in alignment with the Institute of Medicine’s Triple Aim, which includes lowering the overall cost to our patients.”
