摘要
Drs Taylor and Clinchy have given us a wake-up call concerning the future of Academic Medical Centers (AMC) as this nation faces the dual challenges of unsustainable costs and the immediate need for health care reform. No matter what happens to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, AMCs must change their business model or risk economic disaster. AMCs can no longer follow the traditional path that has supported them in the past decade. Sufficient money will not be available within the current business model. The Road Ahead for our teaching and research institutions demands innovation, and AMCs must be the incubator of new solutions for better health care delivery in addition to their advancing our science.
