PURPOSE: To compare organized and traditional health care delivery systems and their ability to meet several major challenges facing health care in the next 25 years. APPROACH: Analysis of traditional and organized health care systems based on a career spent in organized health care systems. CONCLUSIONS: The traditional health care system based on independent autonomous physicians is not able to meet the challenges of current healthcare. Stronger integration and coordination, i.e., organized health care delivery systems are required.
