James Denneny,III: "There's a book that I encourage all of you to read from an author named Porter at Harvard, Redefining Health Care.  He is the most listened to person in the country on this.  ...What we have to do is - instead of rewarding the checkpoints, like we do on E&M coding - actually reward care that improves patient care, and if we can structure it that way, we will not come out the losers and patients will not come out the losers. Quality care is more efficient and saves money in the long run, so that's the opprotunity I think we have."
