Peterson Center on Healthcare Supports New Initiative to Forecast Trends in U.S. Healthcare Spending
The Peterson Center on Healthcare announced an innovative new initiative designed to identify past drivers of U.S. healthcare spending in order to better forecast future spending trends.
The project will research significant data sets to explore the various factors that have historically impacted healthcare spending, providing analysis that can guide future policies aimed at moderating the trajectory of healthcare spending and improving outcomes.
The initiative, led by the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), will add scenario planning and predictive modeling to the Center’s portfolio of initiatives focused on better understanding performance of the U.S. healthcare system.
