Abstract
Donnelly talks about the Affordable Care Act which is driving health care in new directions; the integration of behavioral health into primary care; the move from acute to ambulatory care; primary care for seniors in the home delivered by nurse practitioners; an emphasis on nutrition, exercise, and other forms of wellness interventions to maintain and improve health; and a focus on the value of care through the documentation of outcomes. It will be interesting to monitor expenditures on care over the next several decades as the system adjusts. For example, in 2007, $2.2 trillion was spent in the US on traditional health care including procedures, devices, drugs, and doctors' visits. Of this staggering amount, $2.86 billion was out-of-pocket expenditure-surgical procedures and drugs not covered by insurance, concierge medical practices, and other treatments prescribed by conventional providers but not covered.
