Chapter from: "Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results"
Published by: Harvard Business Publishing
Published in: 2008

Abstract

The US health care system is on a dangerous path, with a toxic combination of high costs, uneven quality, frequent errors, and limited access to care. This chapter presents a wide array of indicators that document the range of problems confronting the system. While individual measures can be questioned for their precision or implication, these many disparate kinds of evidence, taken together, lead to the same overwhelming conclusion: the system is broken, and the magnitude of the problem is staggering. This chapter is excerpted from ‘Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results'.
