The hospitals, health care associations, HSA, and Blue Cross of Northwest Ohio have formed a task force through which they have conducted successful joint cost containment projects. Some of these projects include a voluntary "cap" on price increases, promotion of hospital cost containment committees, sharing of cost containment ideas for inhospital implementation, educating the public about its role in health care cost control, and communicating with political and business leaders about cost control.
医院、医疗保健协会、健康保险计划（HSA）以及俄亥俄州西北部的蓝十字保险公司共同组建了一个特别工作组，通过该工作组他们开展了一些成功的联合成本控制项目。其中一些项目包括对价格上涨实行自愿“上限”、推动医院成本控制委员会的设立、分享医院内部实施成本控制的思路、向公众宣传其在医疗保健成本控制中的作用，以及就成本控制问题与政治和商业领袖进行沟通。
