Lower Costs Sample Clauses

Lower Costs reduce the cost of the improved care delivery for individuals, families, employers, and the government. A growing body of evidence shows strong support for the kinds of integrated care models being proposed by state and federal policymakers. Research comparing nations, states and regions within the U.S., and specific systems of care has shown that health systems built on a solid foundation of primary care deliver more effective, efficient, and equitable care than systems that fail to invest adequately in primary care.15 According to a 2006 study by the Commonwealth Fund, when adults have a medical home, their access to needed care, receipt of routine preventive screenings, and management of chronic conditions improve substantially. The study also found that when primary care physicians effectively manage care in the office setting, patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, congestive heart failure, and adult asthma have fewer complications, leading to fewer avoidable hospitalizations.16 Other evidence suggests that integrating mental health care with primary medical care and other services can enhance patients' access to services, improve the quality and effectiveness of their care, and lower overall health care costs.17 Research studies have increasingly evaluated the interface between physical and mental health, as well as integrated approaches to mental and physical health care that have implications for the future of psychological practice. 14 “Recommendations of the Massachusetts Special Commission on the Health Care Payment System.” Massachusetts Special Commission on the Health Care Payment System.

Lower Costs. Reduce structural and operational costs (without compromising on safety and security);
Lower Costs. The proposed solution promises to greatly reduce the life-cycle cost of an electric school bus charging depot. While its upfront cost is slightly higher than standard alternatives, this solution greatly reduces operating costs by eliminating the need to purchase electricity or fuel for the vehicle. At scale, this type of solution will help tremendously in mitigating the need for extensive upgrades to the electric utility infrastructure and reducing demand charges as EVs become more and more prevalent. The proposed DC-coupled topology is also more efficient than alternating current (AC)-coupled alternatives, and is the best topology for minimizing operating costs and carbon emissions. Greater Reliability: This project will improve the electrical reliability of the charging depot and school. During an outage, the depot’s generation and storage will connect to the school’s critical loads to function as a resilience hub for disaster relief. The system can also charge the buses during an outage for emergency transportation.‌
