In the scramble to find ways to slow rising health care costs, experts are finding good ideas from organizations that are virtually unknown beyond their hometowns.
Consider Bellin Health, a not-for-profit health care system based in Green Bay, Wis. It has managed to rein in costs while improving the availability and quality of care — in large part by making it easier for patients to see nurses and primary care doctors. For employers, it builds clinics right at the workplace so workers can have minor ailments treated before they become serious, as well as many kinds of preventive care.
