on the experience of the individual, the health of a defined population
and the per capita cost for the population. One of the keys to
its success, Berwick said, is integration of health care delivery.

Reginald L. Washington, MD (Bio)
Chief Medical Officer
Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children

more arthritic, more diabetic and more disabled than we have ever
been.
