America's Healthcare Plan: A Strategy for Achieving Quality Care was written on Facebook and is published here in book form. The Facebook Page is located at https://www.facebook.com/LapisLazuliLight

America’s healthcare system is progressing towards quality care. Physicians are to be paid based on the outcome of their treatment methods and provided incentives so that patients do not return for further care. The payment for quality care does not correlate with the current payment system based on services provided. Hospitals and other organizations are attempting to offer quality care services to their patients, and these organizations are setting the example for this type of care. The current healthcare system is financially strained and hospitals and small physician practices take great steps assuring they continue to offer the best care to their patients. Under a quality-based healthcare system, the survival of hospitals and small physician practices will be even more difficult and the incentives to recruit and pay the best doctors will also be more challenging because quality-care services are designed to decrease cost. There is a solution however. The American concept of quality-care decreases cost, but it also decreases incentive; however, the Tibetan concept of quality-care decreases cost, but it rather increases incentive because Tibetan medicine is designed as a quality-care system. Through a Tibetan-based healthcare system, quality-care services can be provided that decrease unnecessary procedures, which cut back time, and increase payments on services offered.
