The Deloitte Center for Health Solutions (the Center) is committed to achieving workable solutions through independent and shared research, bringing together relevant stakeholders through roundtables and other forms of engagement, and applying a deep knowledge of health care — both in practice and policy — to the analysis.

The Center recognizes that the health system's major issues surround quality, access and cost of care. To remedy the situation, the Center is focusing its efforts on five key areas of reform that form the basis of most of its research and solution development:

• Improve Quality: Apply the evidence to care to remove inappropriate variation out of the system.
• Reduce Demand: Focus on prevention and better coordination of chronic care  to reduce avoidable admissions and problems.
• Leverage Information Technology: Use technology to reduce error, improve clinical outcomes and improve coordination of care.
• Change Incentives: Shift from use/volume driven care to outcome driven, value-based purchasing.
• Engage Consumers: Enable consumers to navigate the system and to understand the costs. 

Collaboration between the public and private sector is essential to transforming the U.S. health care system.
