Edward M.L. Peters Discusses ‘The Paid-for Option’ on Federal News Radio’s The Daily Debrief

Dallas, TX November 2, 2009 - Edward M.L. Peters, C.E.O., OpenConnect, Dallas, Texas was recently featured on Federal News Radio’s Daily Debrief show with Chris Dorobek and Amy Morris. The segment, which is now available in a podcast, discusses the ‘Paid-for Option’ and the associated cost savings and productivity improvements. In light of the Healthcare reform legislation slowly making its way through Congress, the ‘Paid-for Option’ offers an excellent point of compromise around which all parties can gather.

“The ‘Paid for’ Option is about achieving results. Given the $1.2 trillion waste basket of behavioral, clinical and operational inefficiencies identified in a recent PricewaterhouseCoopers study, it is hard to believe that at least $500 Billion could not be saved through an organized cost reduction effort,” said Edward M.L. Peters, CEO of OpenConnect. “The dramatic results achieved by our customers, serve as proof points for the solution.”
