High-quality health care helps prevent diseases and improve quality of life. Healthy People 2030 focuses on improving healthcare quality and making sure all people get the healthcare services they need.
Helping healthcare providers communicate more effectively can help improve health and well-being. Strategies to make sure healthcare providers are aware of treatment guidelines and recommended services are also key to improving health.
Some people don’t get the health care services they need because they don’t have health insurance or live too far away from providers who offer them. Interventions to increase access to healthcare services — like lowering costs, improving insurance coverage, and increasing the use of telehealth — can help more people get the care they need.
