The Coming Transformation of American Medicine

American medicine is poised for a transformation – one aimed at raising the quality of medical care and reducing its cost. Such a transformation is both needed and possible. In this talk, the outlines of the coming transformation are discussed.

What needs to be done, and why? How will the transformation occur? Who will win and who will lose?

Speaker: Professor David Cutler, Harvard University, draws on public and private efforts to improve medical care quality, and analyzes them in light of recent legislative developments.
