"Health care delivery is in a period of historic transition. The pressure for major improvements in quality and efficiency exists everywhere - and thus is not driven by the Affordable Care Act alone. The real driver is the medical progress of recent decades, which has dramatically enhanced what medicine can do but has also increased its potential for creating waste, disappointing quality, and chaos for patients. Even if costs were not an issue, the need to reorganize health care would be compelling. Given economic realities, that need is an imperative.



To support the decision makers and clinical leaders in our health care institutions during this time of change, the NEJM Group, which also includes the Journal, has launched a new resource, NEJM Catalyst. NEJM Catalyst will use a range of formats to provide these leaders with information that can help them redesign patient care, change the structure of their institutions, contemplate new relationships with outside organizations, and reconsider the ways in which incentives are being used. In short, NEJM Catalyst expects to improve the management and strategy of health care - offering a trusted source of needed information just as the Journal offers a trusted source of information on the art and of science of medicine."
