PERSPECTIVE

Health Care Transformation And CEO Accountability

Unless President-elect Barack Obama—America’s CEO—and the CEOs who run large businesses work together, health care changes will not occur. The government and private sector must abandon business as usual to reduce costs, reward outcomes, and stimulate innovative ways to achieve those outcomes. President-elect Obama will find a willing partner in corporate America if he reaches out in ways that recognize that solutions must put the patient at the center of our health care system and also drive efficiencies to allow U.S. companies to compete globally. It is past time for the nation’s elected and appointed CEOs to take action to transform U.S. health care.
