RICHARDSON, Texas -- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) today announced new collaborations with 11 key research institutions across the state to advance academic research to
address the critical issues created by gaps and fragmentation that lead to a high cost health care system. The research institutions' projects support the company's objectives of addressing the root causes of unaffordable health care. Some of the projects will focus on a range of health care challenges, including behavioral health, vaccine adherence and leveraging claims and clinical data to evaluate past usage patterns and identify future indicators. The multifaceted projects are
part of the company's Affordability CuresSM endeavor and will support initiatives in both Illinois and Texas that help improve quality and coordination of care delivery, balance inequities and eliminate waste in the system. "Failure to address access and affordability of health care has real consequences. We need to challenge the status quo by bringing transformative research and ideas to the table," said Dr. Dan
McCoy, president, BCBSTX. "By collaborating with a diverse set of institutions and researchers who are embedded in and understand the communities we're serving, we can better identify and develop solutions that tackle high health care costs at its foundation."
