Greater Rochester Health Foundation
On the health care priority, the foundation board has just approved a three-year initiative to develop treatment standards for senior citizens suffering from two yet-to-be-determined health problems. A group of insurers, physicians and others will be asked to spend about six months selecting the two health problems and coming to an agreement on how best to treat them. "It's just a matter of practice catching up with knowledge," Urban said. He said physicians often recommend different courses of treatment for patients with identical symptoms. If research has established the best approach, Urban said it can take many years for that approach to be widely adopted. "We're going to point the way, but what's important is we're bringing all the right parties together," he said, referring to the care providers, hospitals and insurers that sometimes are at odds with one another.
