Tom Szostak, Healthcare Economics Manager for Toshiba America Medical Systems discusses Episode Based Care, one of the key government-based healthcare delivery reform measures from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.

The healthcare reform legislation passed in March of 2010, included many changes that will soon be implemented. These changes are aimed at making the U.S. healthcare system more efficient, accessible, transparent and patient focused. One such change, episode of care, also referred to as episode-based payment or bundled payment, has been in testing since 2009 and will transform healthcare delivery.
