Description: The report provides an analysis of three key health policy areas: financing, primary care, and patient safety and quality. The goal of the report was to help establish a health system that would provide high-quality services efficiently to everyone to prevent, treat, and manage physical and mental illnesses and injuries. RAND Corporation researchers analyzed and researched each of the three areas, reviewed the relevant literature, developed and considered various policy options, and developed plans or approaches to overcome barriers and achieve stated policy objectives. For the primary care area, RAND helped implement a new management information system. The study team conducted the research from December 2011 through December 2012.
