The article takes an interesting angle - that there is a whole industry that is developing, an industry that supports the health care industry by helping with efficiency and cost savings while working within the constraints of the health care reform law. This is important, as the law is forcing changes in the way the medical field operates.
For example, in the US there are now 221 accountable-care organizations made up of hospital and physician groups, as well as insurer-based groups. Technology, administrative and home care providers that help the ACOs save money stand to do well, and there are some of these developing here in Indiana.
Any preventive-care organization that can help employers or insurers cut costs by lowering rates of diabetes, heart disease and respiratory issues -- such as fitness plans or smoking-cessation programs -- could also see a sudden surge in customers. We see that here at Gregory & Appel, as we help our clients implement new wellness and well-being strategies.
