Healthcare Reform

Healthcare reform discussions in our country initially suggested that the purpose of the reform was to deliver improvements in the following three major areas:

1. Access
2. Quality
3. Cost

Even the title of the bill “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” suggests that it will ultimately address the issues in these areas. In my first series of posts, I will look at each of these areas and provide thoughts on the ways healthcare reform does or does not address these areas and on some of the implications of reform for healthcare delivery organizations and providers.
