A Healthcare Market, Not a System

The Frontline/NPR documentary The Healthcare Divide is of personal interest, because of my 36 years in hospital information systems — including work done at, and for, facilities and organizations featured in this report.

The coverage is focused on Safety Net Hospitals. There is no mention rural Critical Access Hospitals. These also serve as safety nets, and have the same problems, but they are much smaller and, by definition, there is no local competition. After watching the documentary I checked a discussion on C-SPAN.
