From page 6...
... What is new about the endeavor we have undertaken at the request of Secretary Thompson is the notion of implementing a variety of demonstrations across the spectrum of issues facing America's health care system, all at the same time. The federal government has long done demonstration projects to learn how to do things better.
From page 7...
... We envision a four-step process that begins with establishing a coordinating structure to provide leadership within a state or a community. Such a structure might well include a consortium of health care providers, community groups, businesses, or others in a community to enable that leadership and then to build out the community-wide information and communications technology infrastructure, establish chronic care management programs and, again, sponsor community-wide health promotion educational efforts.
From page 8...
... That is our idea for a demonstration in the chronic disease area.
