Course Outline
HealthXcelerate: Foundations of the US Health Care System
The US health care system is a complex and interconnected mix of public and private
insurers, health care providers, and other suppliers that support health care provision. It is
not a single, coherent system.
The US health care system has achieved extraordinary medical advances, but persistent
issues from inside and outside the health care system impact overall health outcomes—
the US ranks the lowest in health access, equity, affordability, and outcomes among other
developed nations.
Medical advances have increased health care costs, leading to the need for
health insurance.
The history of US health care is characterized by the introduction of successive efforts to
increase the availability of health insurance coverage to various segments of the
US population.
The impact of innovation on the patient experience and health care costs has been
consistently underwhelming since 1961, in stark contrast to the banking industry, which
has undergone significant transformations as new technologies have substantially
reduced costs and improved customer experience. Payment models and stringent
regulations are the key factors that inhibit innovation in health care.
The Triple Aim, now expanded to the Quadruple Aim, sets aspirational goals for the
health care system. The Quadruple Aim includes providing care that is high-quality,
efficient, and patient-centered and ensuring the health and well-being of
health providers.
