Strategies

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

Implement private sector rules or public sector regulations that prohibit smoking outdoors or restrict it to designated areas

Deliver consultative, diagnostic, and treatment services remotely, especially for patients who live in areas with limited access to care or who experience transportation or mobility barriers; sometimes called telehealth

Provide mental health care services (e.g., psychotherapy or counseling) via telephone or videoconference
