How Long Will It Take? -- Notes -- IndexIn the United States, the soaring cost of health care has become an economic drag and a political flashpoint. Moreover, although the country's medical spending is higher than that of any other nation, health outcomes are no better than elsewhere, and in some cases are even worse. In The Quality Cure, renowned health care economist and former Obama advisor David Cutler offers an accessible and incisive account of the issues and their causes, as well as a road map for the future of health care reform-one that shows how information technology, realigned payment systems, and value-focused organizations together have the power to resolve this seemingly intractable problem and transform the US health care system into one that is affordable, efficient, and effective.Medical careMedical careQuality controlOutcome assessment (Medical care)american health care.american politics.business.civic.cost of health care.democracy.doctors.economics.former obama advisor.health care economist.health care reform.health care system.health care.health outcomes.health.information technology.insurance companies.legal issues.life and death.medical insurance.medical spending.medical.medicare for all.medicine.money and power.national spending.payment systems.political debates.politicians.power and wealth.president obama.united states of america.Medical care.Medical careQuality control.Outcome assessment (Medical care)362.1Cutler David M126599MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790980003321The quality cure3674084UNINA
