In this column, the president of the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association (CFHA) addresses the lack of understanding and agreement to the question What is health care reform? It is a daunting task to understand, let alone redesign, the most expensive (but not most effective or most efficient) health care system in the world. In this critical window of opportunity, influencing positive movement through leadership, communication, and teamwork is a strategic priority of the CFHA and its journal, Family Systems & Health. The emphases on comprehensive, coordinated, and cost-effective care, although novel concepts for many, have been core features of CFHA's philosophy for almost two decades (see CFHA's mission statement). As we mark the halfway point in this pivotal year in health care reform, we continue to struggle. CFHA can help illuminate the path of what health care reform can be and what it can do for each citizen in our communities.
在本专栏中,协作家庭医疗保健协会(CFHA)主席谈到了人们对“什么是医疗改革?”这一问题缺乏理解和共识的情况。要理解世界上最昂贵(但并非最有效或最高效)的医疗保健系统已非易事,更不用说重新设计了。在这个关键的机遇之窗,通过领导力、沟通和团队合作推动积极变革是CFHA及其期刊《家庭系统与健康》的战略重点。强调全面、协调和具有成本效益的医疗,尽管对许多人来说是新概念,但近二十年来一直是CFHA理念的核心特征(见CFHA的使命声明)。在我们迎来医疗改革关键之年的中点之际,我们仍在努力。CFHA能够帮助阐明医疗改革可以是什么样子,以及它能为我们社区的每位公民带来什么。
