Costs of Care, The American Resident Project, JAMA Internal Medicine and the UCSF Center for Healthcare Value
Costs of Care is a 501c3 nonprofit that is transforming American healthcare delivery by empowering patients and their caregivers to deflate medical bills. Currently medical bills are a leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States, even among the insured. Meanwhile, more than $750 billion dollars are spent each year on tests and treatments that needlessly inflate medical bills without helping patients get better. We believe that Americans can get their money back by trimming the fat out of medical bills–replacing or rejecting services that eat into our wallets without making us healthier.
The American Resident Project, sponsored by ThinkAnthem, is a platform for future physician leaders–medical students, residents and physicians newly in practice–to connect, explore ideas for transforming American health care delivery, and exchange their views with other health care providers and opinion leaders across the country.
JAMA Internal Medicine (formerly the Archives of Internal Medicine) is an international peer-reviewed journal providing innovative and clinically relevant research for practitioners in general internal medicine and internal medicine subspecialties. We strive to publish articles that are stimulating to read, educate and inform readers with the most up-to-date research, and lead to positive change in our health care systems and the way we deliver patient care. JAMA Internal Medicine is a member of The JAMA Network family of journals, which includes JAMA and 10 specialty journals. JAMA Internal Medicine receives regular attention from major media, including New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Reuters Health, and US News and World Report, as well as social media outlets around the world. Articles published in JAMA Internal Medicine have led to actions by the FDA and congressional hearings on matters of patient safety that have put into place better measures to protect the public.
The Center for Healthcare Value (CHV) is an initiative of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), the leading university exclusively focused on health. The CHV was created to advance rational, science-driven and clinician-tested healthcare solutions that reduce cost and improve quality.
