The APTA is not the only one with a Vision 2020. Check out Vision 2020 for primary care.
‘It includes automatic and affordable health insurance for all, access
to care, patient-centered care, information-driven care that is based
on scientific evidence and supported by clinical information systems,
and commitment to quality improvement and betterment of health outcomes
by everyone in the health care sector.’
EBP and quality improvement will drive healthcare over the next 10-20 years. It will be successful because of the proliferation of clinical research and technology advancements that make its implementation a feasible proposition. Get on board or you will quickly become irrelevant to your profession.
Our best days are not only ahead, but not far away.
