I've been listening avidly to all the different points of view about health care reform, and the only conclusion I've come to is that almost anything is better than what we have.
On Bloomberg the other day, I heard a call for a systemic approach to the practice of medicine from Dr. Eliot Fisher, Director of the Center for Health Policy at Dartmouth. He said there are always better outcomes where groups of doctors collaborate and practice together, as in the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, or even less renowned group practices such as in Grand Junction, Colo. The efficiencies come when a group of physicians are all responsible for a patient's continuity of care, and when they share information such as that possible with electronic health records (EHRs).
