The future of the US healthcare system: goals, performance, and reform
Health professionals and scientists around the world, including in Switzerland, are concerned about developments regarding healthcare and science in the United States. Even before the Trump administration, the US health care system was not working well鈥攊t is not realizing any of its 5 major goals. Trump is now trying to dismantle the health care system, but it needs transformation not just sloppy reform.听 Part of that transformation requires focusing on:
- more standardization and simplification at every level of health care鈥攆rom insurance and payment to clinical care for common diseases
- focusing on chronic conditions with team-based care.
- focusing on repairing the social safety net, especially for those who live the shortest lives.
Discussion following this conference will focus on these points, and on how they may also be relevant in the Swiss context.
