C-suite must band together to rein in health care costs

Steve Twedt's article today in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette features comments from NBCH CEO Brian Klepper's keynote at the Pittsburgh Business Group on Health's annual symposium.

Dr. Klepper called on C-suite executives to band together if they are to overcome the power of the health care industry and to rein in health care costs.

"Business leaders need to develop a national health care data warehouse and analytics platform that will arm them with information showing which plans and providers produce the best value for the money as far as quality, safety and cost. They have to come together to work as one, to be a counterweight to the health care industry."
