Abstract

Healthcare reform requires an organizing vision for transforming our current highly segmented, reactive, and inequitable system of care. This article reviews trends that are currently intersecting and impacting healthcare delivery including aging, consumerism, and new information technologies. The organizing vision advanced includes a fundamental transformation of healthcare with prevention, planning, and the home at its center, and utilizing technology in support of expanded connectivity and holistic, relationship-based care networks.
