Health and health care are verbs: health care delivery science: the new science.

摘要

Health Care Delivery Science is the missing piece in the Accountable Care Act signed by President Obama. How to provide high-quality health care while lowering costs is the simplest of definitions. Improvements in health and health care require more than me dicalization and insurance reform. It requires a multidisciplinary approach bringing to bare the best and brightest from a broad array of disciplines that heretofore have not played an effective role in health or health care. Together, for the first time they will focus on the problem at hand, low quality, and unsustainable high cost. Experts in management, systems thinking and engineering, sociology, anthropology, environmental science, economics, medicine, health policy, and other fields must join together to apply a laser focus to fixing the delivery system.
