Integrated delivery systems reposition for reform.
As policy-makers debate the ultimate design for health care reform, the pace of change in the fundamental structure for health care financing and delivery is accelerating, writes John Cochrane. State governments, employers, HMOs, insurers, hospitals, physicians and vendors are aggressively changing the way they are organized and do business. Cochrane's message to anyone involved in health care: "The revolution is now!"
