been hired to work with the Healthcare
Cabinet for a study to identify successful practices in other states and

will collect successful cost containment practices from other states and
identify factors that are driving health care cost growth in CT. Recommendations will include a system to
monitor costs, identify high cost providers, and assist them to improve value
as well as development of insurance standards that reward value, and policies
to mitigate cost drivers. The researchers emphasized that every state is
different and they will ensure that the recommendations will be tailored to CT’s
unique features. The study was included in SB-811
