The Challenge that we face • “THE MANAGED-CARE-BASED HEALTH SYSTEM IS FAILING. MEDICAL INFLATION IS BACK. CONSUMER DISTRUST, PROVIDER HOSTILITY, COSTLY NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM WILL NO LONGER ALLOW COSTS AND QUALITY TO BE CONTROLLED BY MOST EXISTING MANAGED CARE ARRANGEMENTS”
The Challenge that we face • “OVERALL, QUALITY HAS NOT BEEN DELETERIOUSLY AFFECTED BY MANAGED CARE, BUT MANAGED CARE HAS NOT SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED UNSAFE PRACTICES, OVERUSE, UNDERUSE AND MISUSE OF HEALTH CARE” - PAUL ELLWOOD
The Business of Health • Helping people stay healthy • Helping people get better when they are ill • Helping people live with illness when their illness is chronic • Helping people manage a changing lifestyle when their illness impairs their functioning • based upon work by the Foundation for Accountability
Health Care Practice is Data, Information & Knowledge intensive • Collection of Data • Physical Exam • Lab • Data with analysis is Information • rales, abn chest x-ray • Information in context with rules • bacterial pneumonia treat with Antibiotics
1974 - Kerr White Chairman NCVHS • “With the advent of new technology, data can be collected in any format, aggregated by the computer and arrayed in any desired output … collecting masses of data untouched by human thought
The Goal of Health Practice is to Make the Right Decisionsat the Right Time
