Opportunities for surgical leadership in managing population health costs.
The concept of population health management—long a mainstay in primary care and chronic disease management—is taking root in surgery. The 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) ushered in the implementation of several innovative payment models that shift accountability for population costs to health systems and providers. The authors discuss the implications of th trends for the surgical profession.

Explaining the growth in US health care spending using state-level variation in income, insurance, and provider market dynamics.
The authors estimated a regression model for state personal health care spending for 1991-2009, then used the results to produce state-level projections of health care spending for 2010-2013 and compared those average projected state values with actual national spending for 2010-2013. They found that at least 70% of the recent slowdown in health care spending can likely be explained by long-standing patterns.
