Riassunto

Toward a 21st Century Health System is a collection of thoughtful analyses that explore a key element of the health care delivery system¾physician group practices. Edited by policy experts Alain Enthoven and Laura Tollen, and written by a blue ribbon panel of health policy scholars and leaders including Stephen Shortell, Hal Luft, Donald Berwick, James Robinson, and Helen Darling, this resource addresses a variety of topics, including

• Organized delivery systems
• Quality of care in prepaid group practice versus other types of managed care
• The role of physician leadership and culture in group practice
• Prepaid group practice and the formation of national health policy

This comprehensive resource also covers such topics as pharmacy benefit management, technology assessment, health services research, and employer purchasing of benefits– all as they relate to prepaid group practice.

Recensione

"After three decades of trying to reform health care...by looking for a ′silver bullet,′ I found the ‘future’ has been here for more than a century. Policymakers tired of banging heads and gavels on stone walls need look no further than this well–designed analysis of prepaid group practice for the incentives necessary to enhance health system quality, safety and performance, expand access and equity, and vastly improve the professional–patient relationship." —Hon. David Durenberger, U. S. Senator (1978–1995), Senior Health Policy Fellow, University of St. Thomas "If you wonder why the American health system...is judged by distinguished experts as ‘the poster boy of underachievement,’ read this collection of fine essays by longtime students of that system.... The book is a particularly valuable read for students of medicine, health administration and health policy. Here they will learn...how much better value might be wrung out of the health system for the truly ample resources Americans grant it." —Uwe Reinhardt, James Madison professor of Political Economy, Princeton University

Recensione

"Several of the chapters are excellent analyses of how the PGP model is responsive to current policy and delivery concerns." ( JAMA ; 11/24/2004) "This book should be required reading for every physician in the United States." ( Health Affairs , Vol 23, No 4; July/August 2004) “A brief review cannot do justice to the range of issues explored in this volume... Toward a 21 st Century Health System repays careful study.” ( Health Service Journal , April 2004)
