ActiveHealth Management CareEngine: Advancing the Cause of Evidence-Based Care

While the health care industry grew by only 3.7 percent last year, total direct health care expenditures still exceeded $3 trillion.  Per capita, the United States spends the most on health care in the world, yet our population’s health continues to decline, with approximately half of all adults (117 million people) suffering from at least one chronic condition. Meanwhile, out-of-pocket costs continue to rise, with the average deductibles having risen 70 percent in the last seven years (adjusting for inflation). Yet despite all of this, it is estimated that appropriate, evidence-based care is used only about half of the time by physicians.
