Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health System: 2008 US Scorecard: Why Not the Best?
Chairman: James J. Mongan, M.D. President and CEO Partners HealthCare System, Inc.
• Organizations Matter – Organizations are necessary but not sufficient for providing better, more coordinated care – Why?
The Problem “The American health care system is the poster child for underachievement… The largest limiting factor is not lack of money, technology, information, or even people but rather a lack of an organizing principle that can link money, people, technology, and ideas into a system that delivers more costeffective care (in other words, more value) than current arrangements.” Source: Stephen M. Shortell and Julie Schmittdiel, in Toward a 21st Century Health System, edited by Alain C. Enthoven and Laura Tollen, 2004.
