From the Paper:

"America has a highly developed health care system, which is available to all the people whether through individual pay or through program affiliation. Although it can be very complex and frustrating at times it has come a long way from the health care organizations of the decades before. Previously most health care facilities were a place where the sick were housed and cared for until death. Physicians rarely practiced in hospitals and only those who were fortunate could afford proper care at home or in private clinics. Today the level of health care has excelled tremendously. Presently the goal of our health care is to have a continuum of care for the patient, one which is integrated on all levels. Many hospitals offer a referral service or discharge plan to patients who are being discharged. Plans for the patient are discussed with a discharge planner."
