Explaination:
- Challlenges facing health care suggests several key findings:
• Poor systems design has led to errors, poor quality of care,
and dissatisfaction among patients and health professionals.
The needs of the chronically ill are not being adequately met.
Addressing those needs requires the reform of systems of care and
greater coordination and collaboration among health professionals,
as well as more attention to prevention and the behavioral
determinants of health.
• Technological advances in information technology and an expanded
evidence base gained from research on clinical practice have the
potential to transform health care, but such advances have not been
adequately harnessed.
Patients and consumers are now increasingly informed about their
health. As a result, there is a need for a new relationship of
shared decision making between patients and health care providers.
Providers also need to be more attentive to patient values,
preferences, and cultural backgrounds.
• Workforce issues related to shortages and effective deployment of
existing professionals need to be addressed before quality of care
is further compromised.
• Health care employers and recent graduates cite gaps between the
way health professionals are prepared and what they are called upon
to do in practice, gaps that are attributable to many factors,
including a lack of funding to revamp curricula and a limited focus
on teaching in academic health centers.
