Health Care Costs and Health Care Quality "What is the National Quality Strategy?" (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2012) and "What's the price of health care?" (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2012), both authored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, assist the vital discussion of national health care issues. "What is the National Quality Strategy?" sets forth our government's 3 goals for national health care, supported by six national priorities. Aimed at "Better Care," "Healthy people and communities," and "Affordable care," the Strategy set the six priorities of "Reducing harm to patients,: "Facilitating more coordination and communication," "Empowering patients," "Implementing evidence-based prevention and treatment plans," "promoting health behaviors and environments," and "Developing and using new delivery models." By setting out these goals and priorities in a simple format that can be readily understood by consumers, this article can assist health care policy providers by dissemination to the public and by giving clear-cut steps for the developer's approach to local health care in line with national health care. Simultaneously, "What's the price of health care?" addresses transparency in health care costs, both illustrating its importance and showing several states' attempts to collect and disseminate information about health care costs. By illustrating the importance of transparency and the states' attempts to increase cost transparency while assessing the effectiveness of these programs, this article can assist the health care policy developer in effectively joining the national movement toward transparency by encouraging his/her own state's involvement and by actively improving the quality and quantity of data. Both articles illustrate the value and importance of dialogue about the national Strategy and steps to attain its goals.
