The movie “Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare” (@EscapeFire,http://www.escapefiremovie.com/) is a thoughtful and compelling explanation of; the primary threats to the health of Americans, the key flaws of the U.S. health care system, and the dramatic change in thinking required to improve it. What’s needed are more reliable and robust preventive services, especially targeting those at highest risk for avoidable complications of chronic disease. That is exactly what the advanced care management model developed by HQP offers. There is now overwhelming evidence that the HQP model can improve health and lower cost among those at higher risk for poor health (see http://hqp.org/index.php/results). Isn’t it time to strengthen our commitment to the continued R&D required to further enhance this model (and others like it having strong evidence of effectiveness) and promote its widespread use?
