  • Title: Reducing health care costs: a case for quality.
    Author: Hughes JM.
    Journal: Physician Exec; 1992; 18(4):9-15. PubMed ID: 10126336.
    Abstract:
    Today, it is not quality or access but cost that has become the primary motivator for change in the U.S. health care delivery system. Cost, as the driver, has created a frenzy of nationwide activity, searching, examining, and testing any and all ways that offer promise of financial health care stability. And cost, not quality or access, is the principal motivator for the ever accelerating national health care policy debate. But there is a relationship between costs and quality that has to be addressed if quality is to be maintained.
