| Popis: | During the past 100 years, advances in science and technology, including the disciplines of medicine, have created a society of incredible complexity. Unfortunately, a social stability has not evolved to match this complexity. Hence the social order is frequently threatened, and the public repeatedly voices concern for the future of many of its institutions, including the health care system. The challenge to medicine, in its response to this concern, is the development of new models which will provide quality health care at reasonable cost and equitable accessibility. This will be difficult and can be done only if medicine itself makes a major commitment to it. Radiologists can exert a critical influence. In recent years, radiology has become the very center of the health care system. Its leaders therefore are in an unusual position to play a vital part in formulating the changes needed to improve tomorrow’s health care. This will be a new role for many radiologists. Let us hope they can rise to the challenge. |
