چکیده
Changes in the way that health care is perceived, delivered, and financed have occurred rapidly in a relatively short time span.

This relationship first grew to include the third-party payer, the health insurance industry, and now "with great speed and relatively little awareness, a significant change has occurred in the way some decisions are made about a patient's medical care" (III, Institute of Medicine 1989).
