The U.S. health care system requires transformative changes that reduce risk and improve overall well-being while increasing access, quality, safety, and affordability. Integrative nursing can serve as a road map to care that is culturally safe, personalized, and meaningful. Using exemplar case studies, we explore both opportunities and challenges to care that advances the health and well-being of persons, families, and communities through caring/healing relationships.

Care System

. . . the U.S. health care system is flawed principally because we have never asked what its goals are. So long as that fundamental moral question remains unanswered, no amount of political or economic tinkering will fix the system's problems. If we carefully examine the present workings of our system, we would have to conclude that its goals are two: maintain the prerogatives of physicians and the well-being of the private insurance industry. Such goals hardly represent an exercise of moral choice, and . . . are morally indefensible.

Care System

Over the last few decades, the U.S. health care system has been the beneficiary of tremendous growth in the power and sheer quantity of useful medical technology. As a consequence, our society has, for some time, had to make cost-benefit tradeoffs in health care. The alternative—funding all health care interventions that would produce some health benefit for some patient—is not feasible, because it would effectively consume all of our resources.
