Across any number of measures, the American health care system is sick, especially when compared with other countries. What are the policy roots of our inability to address issues of quality? What do we have to do, short and longer term, to have the best health care in the world?
And what role should hospital leadership, including the chief medical officer, play within what seems to be a never-ending debate? Governor Dukakis believes that doctors must lead the way to change, or they will be left behind when change ultimately comes. Or worse: there will be no change and the system will continue to worsen even more quickly. But what is that change? And how, exactly, might doctors and hospitals lead it?
