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. 606 $aMedical care 606 $aMedical care$xQuality control 606 $aOutcome assessment (Medical care) 610 $aamerican health care. 610 $aamerican politics. 610 $abusiness. 610 $acivic. 610 $acost of health care. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $adoctors. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aformer obama advisor. 610 $ahealth care economist. 610 $ahealth care reform. 610 $ahealth care system. 610 $ahealth care. 610 $ahealth outcomes. 610 $ahealth. 610 $ainformation technology. 610 $ainsurance companies. 610 $alegal issues. 610 $alife and death. 610 $amedical insurance. 610 $amedical spending. 610 $amedical. 610 $amedicare for all. 610 $amedicine. 610 $amoney and power. 610 $anational spending. 610 $apayment systems. 610 $apolitical debates. 610 $apoliticians. 610 $apower and wealth. 610 $apresident obama. 610 $aunited states of america. 615 0$aMedical care. 615 0$aMedical care$xQuality control. 615 0$aOutcome assessment (Medical care) 676 $a362.1 700 $aCutler$b David M$0126599 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790980003321 996 $aThe quality cure$93674084 997 $aUNINA
