Bend the Curve: A Campaign to Reduce Waste and Inefficiency in Health Care

Bend the Curve is an innovative educational campaign developed by NEHI with support from the WellPoint Foundation. It is aimed at providing health care leaders with actionable ways to reduce spending without lowering quality through evidenced-based research and thought leader events.

The Health Care Leader’s Guide to High Value Health Care provides data and offers recommendations for actionable solutions to reduce costs by $521 billion in seven critical areas of health care:

The Guide offers real world success stories of health care professionals making important improvements in their organizations. Additional case interviews are published in the following two publications: Striving for High Value Health Care: Lessons Learned in California and Striving for High Value Health Care: Lessons Learned Across the Country . We encourage you to use these tools to educate colleagues, and identify and implement successful solutions to the very real problem of health care waste in your own organizations and communities.
