Paradox and Imperatives in Health Care (eBook, ePUB)

Redirecting Reform for Efficiency and Effectiveness, Revised Edition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The medical sector of the American economy has suddenly stopped growing. This unexpected outcome creates serious problems that cannot be solved by the Affordable Care Act and other one-size-fits-all reforms. In this concise and clearly written book, a leading health futurist/medical economist takes a new, unbiased look at health care's dysfunctions and proposes three specific actions to create the best health care system that 17 percent of GDP can buy. Dr. Bauer shows how the principles of efficiency and effectiveness can be used first to create a world-class delivery system, and then to provide care for all Americans.
