内容説明
Throughout the Western world, both public and private health care systems are grappling with the problem of assuring quality while containing costs. On the one hand, governments and insurers argue that there must be some limit to the apparently endless growth of health care expenditures. On the other, patient groups and consumer advocates, already dissatisfied by the problems in holding doctors accountable for their actions, assert that such limits must not prevent patients from gaining access to essential treatments. The two movements find common cause in the development of systems of regulation intended to police the quality of care. Some of these are initiated by individuals, like the tort system of litigation over particular acts of negligence or the work of licensing boards reacting to complaints about a physician's fitness to practice. Others are corporate, as in the spread of medical audit or the introduction of schemes of management control. Such regulatory systems, it is believed, can combine the prevention of ineffective, dangerous or inefficient medical practices with the promotion of high standards of care and sensitivity to consumer demands or expectations.
