Despite medical technological advances, the major killers with
which we must currently contend have remained essentially the same
for the past few decades. Stroke, cancer, and heart disease
together account for the vast majority of deaths in the United
States. In addition, due to improved medical care, many Americans
who would previously have died now survive these disorders,
necessitating that they receive appropriate rehabilitation efforts.
One result of our own medical advances is that we must now accept
the high costs associated with providing quality care to
individuals who develop one of these problems, and we must avail
ourselves to assist of afflicted individuals. families Despite the
relative stability of causes of death and disability, the
health-care field is currently experiencing tremendous pressures,
both from professionals with in the field, who desire more and
better technology than is currently available, and from the public
and other payers of health care (e.g., insurance companies), who
seek an end to increasing health-care costs. These pressures, along
with an increased emphasis on providing evidence of
cost-effectiveness and quality assurance, are substantially
changing the way that health-care professionals perform their
jobs."
