Synopsis
Recent world events have created enormous pressures throughout the US economy with the health care industry being particularly hard hit. As the nation pulls itself out of the most significant economic downturn since the Great Depression, many new challenges for health care providers have arisen. The newly unemployed and growing underinsured are the most notable population segments taxing an already stretched system. Health system administrators and pharmacists are now challenged to provide the same high level of care for all patients while balancing the need to provide these services as economically as possible.
