Care Systems

The rapidly changing health care climate related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in numerous changes to health care systems and in practices that protect both the public and the workers who serve in hospitals around the country. As a result, these past few months have seen a drastic reduction in outpatient visits. With phased reopening and appropriate guidance, health care systems are attempting to return to normal. The experiences and lessons learned are described, and we provide guiding principles to allow for a safe and effective return to outpatient care.

Although levels of violence have declined, exposure to conflict, unfortunately, remains a common feature of many people’s lives. While “demography is not destiny,” demographic factors have been widely discussed as potential causes for conflict. This essay discusses the implications of two demographic megatrends – population growth and aging – on the future risk for conflict and their wider implications for public health and health care systems.

AbstractAs the world enters the last decade of the 20th Century, there is a great deal of speculation about the effect of computers on the future delivery of health care. In this article, the authors attempt to identify some of the evolving computer technologies and anticipate what effect they will have by the year 2000. Rather than listing potential accomplishments, each of the affected areas: hardware, software, health care systems and communications, are presented in an evolutionary manner so the reader can better appreciate where we have been and where we are going.

Care Systems

The future sustainability of ‘solidaristic’ or universal publicly financed health systems is frequently said to be threatened by lack of resources as rising demand collides with the growing reluctance of the better-off to pay for services mainly used by others. Competitive health care arrangements are also regarded as threatening solidarity. By contrast, I argue that the main threat to the sustainability of such systems lies in the inability of so-called ‘advanced’ societies to develop institutions that are capable of acceptably reconciling inevitably scarce resources with individual and collective desires to have all the health care we want. Many ‘advanced’ societies lack, or fail to incorporate into their health systems, the range of intermediate institutions that could potentially help in more effectively reconciling individual wants with collectively determined levels of resources.
