The theory of S-curve discontinuity in the medical care field.

Confusion reigns supreme in the health are field today. In a previous paper, I described my thoughts about the reasons for this chaos. This article reviews the gradual escalation of health care costs and many of the unsuccessful methods to control them, reiterates the theory of S-Curve discontinuity in health care and develops a "tool" that will enable physician executives to determine whether or not a product or process in health care will succeed in the near and distant future. This new tool can be of value to all health care providers, investors, health planners, politicians involved in evolving health care legislation, and any others who have an investment in the future of health care.
