| Popis: |
The landscape of medicine in the United States is changing. The traditional concept of volume has shifted to one of improving quality of care with care being provided at the right time in the most cost-effective setting. A hospital stay is no longer an episode of care; rather it is part of the continuum of care for every patient. To help drive this change, many financial and regulatory incentives and penalty programs or “Pay for Performance programs” are being developed and implemented nationally. This chapter will review these changes and highlight how hospitalists are well positioned to help lead the change. |
