A health care delivery system is defined as a mechanism for providing services that meet the health-related needs of individuals.. Health Care is the fastest growing industry. U.S. spends 17% of GDP on health care (~$9000 per person).U.S has fewer physicians, hospital beds, physician visits, and hospitalizations than most industrialized countries. Only 55-70% of citizens receive the health care they need. Lower life expectancy than other industrialized countries (78.7 years). U.S. health care system ranked 7 out of 7 behind Australia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, and the UK.

Financing - the way in which health care systems are funded
US spends the most per capita of any country in the world, the highest proportion of its GDP on health care, but isn't the healthiest. There should be :

The health services research arm of the US Department of Health and Human Services, complementing the biomedical research mission of its sister agency, the NOH. It is home to research centres that specialize in major areas of healthcare research such as quality improvement in patient safety, outcomes and effectiveness of care, clinical practice and technology assessment, and healthcare organization and delivery systems.
The US medical system overemphasizes process measures which have limited effect on quality, Outcome measurements are mainly performed among specialists and speciality societies, Outcome measurements traditionally focus on clinical status rather than functional status. High-quality interpersonal care, at least for chronic care, is required for good technical care to be implemented.
The goal of health care is to improve health outcomes. It follows that the ultimate goal of quality measurement and quality improvement is to improve health outcomes. Then why don't we forget structure and process and focus on outcomes?
