People With Medicare
The Carolinas Center for Medical Excellence (CCME) works to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of health care in all medical settings. Our vision is that all Carolinians will receive the right health care every time. The care you receive should be safe, effective, efficient, person-centered, and equitable. We know that health care providers share our vision.
Empowering Consumers to Make Better Informed Health Care Decisions
As a health care consumer, you have an important role in improving the quality of health care in the Carolinas.
CCME wants to help you:
- Think more about how quality health care affects you.
- Realize that quality can differ among health care facilities.
- Find information on Medicare’s website, www.medicare.gov that can help you understand these quality differences.
- Know that you—the health care consumer—can impact the delivery of quality care through your questions, requests, and choices.
Being a smart health care consumer is more than just knowing what your health care provider can do for you – it's also about what you can do for yourself. Because CCME is dedicated to collaborating with health care providers and consumers to improve care, raising awareness about common health conditions and current topics in health care is important to us.
