Issues in future health care delivery include the aging American population, rapidly rising costs, the shifting of control of health care from providers to consumers, decentralization of care, technological change, and rapid expansion of knowledge. These will have great effect on patients, health care providers, third-party payors, and curriculum. (MSE)
