What are the Partnership's specific activities?
The Partnership conducts research, builds awareness, and identifies proposed solutions.
Conduct research to answer specific questions:
- How many people suffer from chronic conditions? How rapidly is the number growing? What are the negative consequences of chronic illness?
- What types of benefits do large corporations offer for people with chronic conditions? Which benefits packages are models for both the private and public sectors?
- What is the impact of private sector insurance benefits on health care and productivity for those with chronic conditions?
- How does the way in which doctors and hospitals are paid affect the quality of care for people with chronic conditions?
- Are there other ways to pay for care and support that is not covered by private insurance or public health coverage programs?
Raising awareness and communication:
- To share the Partnership's research with consumers, patients, business leaders, advocates and health care professionals who wish to improve the lives of people with chronic health conditions.
- To inform policymakers about the best private sector benefits packages, and how they might serve as models for public programs
Identify promising solutions that will:
- Better meet the needs of people with chronic conditions by improving private and public health insurance benefit packages.
- Support people with chronic health conditions to live fuller lives in their communities.
- Identify health maintenance organizations, hospitals and other groups that provide the best possible care for those with chronic health conditions.
