The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published a study examining health care in Grand Junction, seeking to understand the city’s below average health care costs. The authors highlight seven payment and service delivery features that they believe contribute to Grand Junction’s performance, suggesting that other cities and towns incorporate them to improve health care efficiency.
