Changes in Obstetrics and Gynecologic Care Healthcare Triple Aims: Moving Women's Healthcare From Volume to Value.

Healthcare costs in the United States are over 17% of GDP and climbing. Yet compared with other countries in the developed world, the US healthcare system has the worst record for quality of care in relation to cost. This poor performance and lack of improvement in cost versus quality has led to the development of the Triple Aim framework spearheaded by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. The focus of the Triple Aim is to improve value of care by improving access to care, systems of care delivery, and quality of care while reducing the overall expenditure.
