This PowerPoint presentation can be used as a resource which provides information on health care costs and trends, utilization and population demographics, and offers perspectives on the factors that are contributing to rising costs of health care.
The WHA finance team created the presentation to help WHA members lead discussions in their communities related to health care services and costs, outlines some of the cost drivers, discusses future trends, and asks some questions about the future of health care. The PowerPoint presentation not only informs members of the community of the issues, it opens a dialogue with them.
