American healthcare in the 20^th century was designed to provide ? and charge for ? the most care, not always the best care. We know that:

• The most expensive medical conditions are those that could have been prevented
• The most expensive treatments are those that are unneeded and unwanted

The Institute's Mission-driven, results-oriented approach helps health organizations avoid the costs and pains of disjointed, transactional care and realize the lasting benefits of caring for whole persons. The Institute's methods are measurable, scalable and transferable.

"Tectonic shifts in American healthcare offer opportunities to drive much better care at significantly lower costs," said Ira Byock, M.D., chief medical officer and founder of the Institute for Human Caring. "We make caring for whole persons the new normal. The moral imperative and the business case are clear. The time for transformation is now."
