Health care delivery system reform: Six policy imperatives

Meaningful improvements to how health care is organized, paid for, and delivered are not only needed but possible. The Commonwealth Fund’s 18-member Task Force on Payment and Delivery System Reform harnessed their real-world experience and the best available evidence to recommend ways to improve quality, advance equity, and increase affordability of health care in the U.S.

These recommendations are directed at delivery system reform, not insurance coverage, and the federal government, rather than states, because this is where the Task Force sees optimal opportunity for bipartisan collaboration to transform health care for all.
