This book presents
a design for a complete health delivery system at the level of a state.
This design is not a new set of patches on what we have. It is a complete
system that is driven at the top by three target system outcomes:
• Superior health for all individual citizens
• Cost contained as the secondary measure of individual care
• Financial risk coverage for all citizens of the state
You will find that we can achieve these outcomes at a cost that is
far less than the amount we spend today.
The system described is complete: it fits together both Public Health
and services for individual patients.
You will develop understanding of the dynamics of a complete
Health Delivery System. The presentation is a “teaching” format.
