Health Care Trends: Kaiser Leads Industry into the Data Era
Frustrated hospital executives are under increasing pressure to control the high cost of delivering care. As a result, they’re now using newly available data to evaluate certain medical products, especially high-end devices and implants for orthopedics and cardiology.
