On Tuesday, President Bush signed an executive order entitled "Promoting Quality and Efficient Health Care in Federal Government Administered or Sponsored Health Care Programs." The Bush administration reports that this executive order aims to provide consumers with increased access to information about their doctors, hospitals and the prices of their procedures. The executive order requires federal agencies that administer health care programs to publish the costs paid for treatment, implement pay-for-performance reimbursement models and develop quality measurements. The executive order also requires federal agencies to use interoperable health information technology systems to facilitate the exchange of health information.
