AB  - If  the  value  of  a  healthcare  system  is  defined  as  the  quality  of  the  system  divided  by  its  cost,  then  the  value  of  care  in  the  United  States  is  very  low  compared  to  other  developed  nations.  The  United  States  spent  nearly  18%  of  GDP  in  2012  on  health  care,  while  the  next  highest  spending  among  developed  nations  was  12%.1  It  is  estimated  that  more  than  $700  billion  of  healthcare  spending  each  year  in  the  United  States  is  waste.2  In  the  measure  of  outcomes,  the  US  healthcare  system  ranks  37th  globally.3  Low  quality  divided  by  high  cost  equals  a  system  that  has  great  potential  for  improvement.
