In a conversation with California Healthline, Molly Coye -- chief innovation officer of UCLA -- discussed the health system's efforts to improve the value of the health services it delivers.
According to Coye, organizations can improve the value of their services by placing greater emphasis on preventive care and primary care services, which can help patients avoid more costly hospital services and specialty outpatient procedures.
Coye noted that health systems can follow the lead of other organizations that have improved the value of their health services. For example, Coye discusses an initiative led by the Veterans Administration that leverages remote monitoring devices and behavioral support to provide care for veterans with multiple chronic conditions (California Healthline, 9/8).
