Strategies

Use helmets to absorb, dissipate, and reduce impact forces to an athlete’s head and brain during collisions or falls

Make pricing for hospital procedures and other health care services publicly available, often via websites, online databases, report cards, or similar tools

Educate youth and college athletes, coaches, and parents about the severity of concussions in sports, proper prevention, detection, reporting, and treatment

Use the purchasing power of employers and groups of insured individuals to create incentives and disincentives for health care providers to deliver high quality, high value care
