“The only way to determine true cost and effectiveness of care is a strategic, comprehensive evaluation of all aspects of a patient’s care cycle. In most cases, the cost of careis delegated largely to purchasers focused primarily on the initial per unit costs, with no review on how item performance impacted the results. By guiding healthcare toward a strategic view, Mainbridge reenergizes the industry’s ability to innovate, allowing the best and brightest minds to bypass current barriers to innovation, establish a new pace for meaningful change, and set higher standards for patient care.”
