THE OXFORD CENTRE FOR HEALTHCARE TRANSFORMATION
THE 21ST CENTURY HEALTHCARE CRISIS
The clinical advances of the last fifty years have led to dramatic increases in life expectancy and years of life free from disability. However there are still five outstanding problems in every health service;
safety
variable quality
health inequalities
failure to prevent the preventable
Furthermore every health service also has to face four new challenge;
growing demand
increasing need
resource constraints, both financial and carbon
These problems cannot be solved by further scientific advances. They cannot be solved by reorganising the bureaucracy of healthcare, which achieves only change without transformation. They can be solved by transforming healthcare. Transforming the square peg of 20th Century healthcare into a service that fits with the needs of the 21st Century.
