National Meeting
The Health Policy Institute hosts a national meeting each year in which experts explore how to address the biggest challenges facing our health care system.
More than 250 attendees from across the Texas Medical Center and beyond joined the Health Policy Institute at its 2017 meeting.
2017 Meeting
In the U.S., we waste an estimated one-third of our health care dollars each year. Administrative inefficiency, overuse of tests and procedures, and overpriced drugs add up to about $1 trillion per year in unnecessary costs.
How do we bring those costs down without sacrificing the quality of patient care? The Texas Medical Center Health Policy Institute explored the answers at its annual national meeting Sept. 20, 2017 titled “Reducing the Cost of Health Care: Current Innovations and Future Possibilities.”
