As part of its Bend the Curve campaign, these case interviews are further evidence of the proven practices and policy actions outlined in A Health Care Leader's Guide to High Value Health Care. The Guide (released in December 2011) identifies specific actions for reducing $521 billion in wasteful health care spending in seven critical areas: medication errors, hospital admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions, patient medication adherence, emergency department overuse, hospital readmissions, antibiotic overuse and vaccine underuse.
