Healthcare delivery globally is at a cross roads. In particular, the U.S. healthcare system has been noted as being significantly more costly than any other OECD country (Wickramasinghe et al. 2008a). Moreover, the use of healthcare services in the U.S. is below the OECD median by most measures and it is predicted that healthcare costs will be over 20% of GDP before 2020 (Wickramasinghe et al. 2008a)
