The coming third health care revolution: personal empowerment.
Full Abstract
The financing and organization of health care in the United States has been rapidly evolving in the last 30 years. Managed care and capitation have largely replaced fee-for-service as a way to pay providers. Cost-control initiatives were developed by payers. These crude cost-control methods proved insufficient and new approaches were developed. These might be referred to as disease management that includes evidence-based medicine and outcomes measurement. It is proposed that a third revolution, patient empowerment, is just starting. The potential far-reaching consequences are described, discussed, and analyzed here, including their cost consequences.
