Abstract

The threshold of the 1980s is viewed as a turning point with respect to the nation's future health policy. Critical changes are occurring in health care provision, health care financing, health manpower, education, medical science, and research. Unfortunately, the private health care sector's response to these changes has been on a piecemeal basis. Because of lack of time and information, we have been forced to make policy judgments in response to the short-term pressures of the moment. Decision makers need to redirect priorities to develop a long-term consistent approach to the health care issues facing the nation. To accomplish this, the private sector has to work more cooperatively with the public health sector to develop a comprehensive health care policy. Multidimensional problems require the participation and cooperation of many organizations. The American Medical Association has initiated a project that will produce a conceptual and philosophical frame to guide health policy
