The best health care systems in the world are national systems. France has the best medical outcomes world wide. Our US military is cutting edge with research and innovations right now that the civilian medical people are learning from. One source of payment doesn't make care worse, it improves it and cuts out the non contributary elements of the private health insurance administration and profits. Private health insurance adds nothing to our medical care. They just take needed money out of the system.-MRP Delete the scoop?

It makes sense. If you improve the quantity – as well as the quality of care-centered communications, it is likely that patients will feel staff is more responsive, and better communication specifically about pain management and medications would increase those scores. However, care-centered conversations can often lose out to administrative and transactional dialog leaving little time to build relationships, emphathize, and engage in other more affective communications with encouragement and coaching. Another survey last week on communication, this one by Ponemon, found that outdated communications devices can make it harder to deliver effective patient care. AComputerWorld article notes: “Clinicians in the survey estimated that only 45% of each workday is spent with patients; the remaining 55% is spent communicating and collaborating with other clinicians and using EMRs and other clinical IT systems.” An infographic on the survey shows other highlights: Clinicians waste an average of 46 minutes each day due to the use of outdated technologies. The primary reason is the inefficiency of pagers (as cited by 52%).It takes 102 minutes to be discharged. About 37 minutes is spent waiting for doctors, specialists or others to respond with information necessary for a patient’s release.A lengthy discharge process costs the U.S. hospital industry more than $3.189 billion a year in lost revenue.

America’s health care system is collapsing, and we can blame the Economics profession. Most economists approach health care in the wrong way, viewing it as a commodity like shoes or the laptop on which I write. Instead, health care is an idiosyncratic commodity, subject to uncertainty and “asymmetric information” leading to destructive behavior. Trying to force health care into a box, treating it like other commodities, economists have promoted cost sharing, market competition, and insurance oversight of health care providers that have inflated the administrative burden while denying ever more Americans access.
