ThedaCare touted as national model

This is from Fox News:

Maybe its because ThedaCare employs LEAN process adopted from manufacturing. Whatever the reason, FoxNews seems to understand one basic element of health care reform. Medical costs are driving the need for health care reform. Reforming the insurance side will not achieve the true savings that are needed. This is a lesson that has fallen on deaf ears so far on Democratic decision-makers despite this writer's repeated efforts, letters and phone calls to Congressional offices.

ThedaCare institued these measures to cut costs but amazingly they also IMPROVED patient health outcomes.

See this link for an informative video on ThedaCare's lean practices and cost cutting collaborative care model:
