Hospitals and managed-care organizations know that pharmacy costs are going to keep climbing. It's a question of how much and how quickly they can slow the growth of an expense that has become increasingly hard to swallow. Spending on prescription drugs is rising at 12% per year, more than double the 5% increase in national healthcare expenditures.
医院和管理式医疗组织都知道，药房成本将会持续攀升。问题在于，他们能在多大程度上以及多快地减缓这一愈发难以承受的费用增长。处方药支出正以每年12%的速度增长，这一增速是全国医疗保健支出5%的增速的两倍多。
