Tal quadro poderia ser considerado normal num setor controlado pelo Estado, mas é impensável num mercado desregulamentado—e, nos Estados Unidos, a saúde é predominantemente privada e sujeita a mais competição do que em qualquer outra parte do mundo.

As more and more of their time and investment capital is absorbed in information technology and its effects, executives have a growing awareness that the technology can no longer be the exclusive territory of EDP or IS departments.

Citizens from most of the olderindustrialized countries have become obsessed with it since the first Japanese cars started selling well.

Instead, providers (and payors) turn to simplistic actions such as across-the-board cuts in expensive services, sta compensation, and head count. But imposing arbitrary spending limits on discrete components of care, or on specic line-item expense categories, achieves only marginal savings that often lead to higher total systems costs and poorer outcomes.
