The imperative for change in health care delivery. An ophthalmologist's viewpoint
Abstract:
The increasing cost of American health care necessitates major adjustments in the systems for providing that care. Computerization has the potential for facilitating efficient, affordable, and high-quality care while maintaining a fee-for-service system. The development of model delivery systems for health care should receive research funding from private and government sources. For ophthalmology, a paradigm for technology-dependent specialties, mechanisms to streamline eye care are being explored via a nonprofit foundation.
