WellPoint, Inc. 2006 Summary Annual Report
Collaborate with health
care professionals to
improve quality
through evidence-based
medicine and advanced
information technology
For many, the current health care system provides
truly outstanding care. But research has found that
nearly half the time, the system falls short of delivering
treatments aligned with best practices.
WellPoint is collaborating with doctors and hospitals
on programs that use information technology both to
reduce medical errors and to simplify administrative
requirements, so physicians and hospitals can focus
more on providing quality care. And we are reinforcing
those initiatives with pay-for-performance programs
that reward quality improvements and help support
further investments in information technology.
