Care outside the citys boundaries or may live elsewhere and come into the city to work, the city could play a role in providing state wide of this kind. The city could work to insure that Health Care Providers have information to Health Care Information.

That greater quality and Price Transparency for providers them self could have an impact on physician referral pattern and how they deliver care. As we look at new methods of payment, physicians will have greater and greater incentives to make smarter choices but transparency has to be a building block. As executive representing Many Health Care providers across the country, they and consumers buy transparency and i commend the city working together to advance the efforts.
