DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance
Statement attributable to:
Tracey Moorhead
President and Chief Executive Officer, DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance
"DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance applauds today's commitment by leading health care organizations to reduce the annual growth rate in health care expenditures and bring all stakeholders together toward this goal. DMAA especially appreciates their recognition of the crucial role care coordination and chronic disease prevention and management play in lowering health care costs and improving outcomes and care quality.
"DMAA has long championed health promotion, disease prevention and care management for at-risk and chronically ill individuals as ways to achieve better health and cost savings. Like the signers of today's letter to the president, DMAA believes firmly in care based on the best available evidence and practices to improve the overall health of populations.
"DMAA members stand ready to assist in the transformation to a health care system focused proactively on wellness and health promotion. Their rich experience fighting chronic disease and promoting good health can contribute much to the reform process."
