America’s
health care system: A crisis of costs. A crisis of care.
America leads
the world in health care spending, yet the quality of the care
we provide and patient satisfaction lag far behind. As our population
grows older, the burden of chronic illness will make this challenge
even more critical.
Currently, American health care experts and policymakers are trying
to reform health care by tackling the problem of access to medical
care and cost.
However, even good insurance coverage will not guarantee quality
care. The solution to that lies in the way American medical care
providers are organized and work together.
Researchers, academics, and policymakers agree: Transformational
health care reform must take place, and the structure of the delivery
system is fundamental to the success of any reform.
We must work
to develop the physician group and hospital models that will deliver
the best, most cost-effective care—coordinated care. And
evidence shows that patient-centered care coordination today is
best achieved in America’s integrated health care delivery
systems and multispecialty medical groups.
There
is a better way to make the health system work.
Coordinated
Care. Superior care. Greater value.
