Scenario: Pursuant to the 2010 Health Care Reform Bill the United States will be challenged to bring into its health care population some 32 million more patients. Formerly many of these patients were uninsured.
Some of these patients were seen and treated in safety-net hospitals but mostly in emergency rooms. Reliable independent studies have shown that this population is low income and is disproportionately made up of ethnic and racial minorities; however it is important to point out that due to the economic downturn at the turn of the decade surrounding 2010 this 32 million will include a significant number of non-minority unemployed individuals. Consider that health care institutions must move beyond simply taking in and treating the sick and injured who come through the door. In the near future the health of the community will be measured in terms of low disease burden high vaccination rates controlled chronic disease rates healthier life styles and a better educated public. Clearly the impacts to the health care system will have to be addressed.
