Abstract:
Today, in our capitalistic society, demographics, economics, and quality assessments are major systemwide drivers of research in the management of health and illness. Future trends promise a continued emphasis on outcomes, with a likely focus on rationing of care. Changes in quality definitions and changing acceptance of the levels and locations of care, with continued cost shifting into a broadened form of tax-supported health care, are anticipated. Concomitant and reflexive with these macroscopic trends are more microscopic organizational and professional trends and research agendas.
