As part of its efforts to help its members achieve the Triple Aim, ICSI is addressing the unsustainable increases in health care costs by reducing waste in the system, redesigning care delivery and payment, championing the appropriate use of care, and supporting transparency of costs so consumers can make wiser choices on the care they receive.
