Many forces within this country are prompting a need for change.   Leiyu Shi and Douglas A. Singh, in their book titled Delivering Health Care in America.  A Systems Approach discusses six main external forces – or drivers – that impact our current health care system and will undoubtedly influence any system in the future.
Social and Demographic Forces:  demographic composition, languages, immigration, lifestyles, and cultures of the population that require health care services.
Economic Forces:  the economy, unemployment, globalization, supply and demand, spending by individuals and government, etc.
Ecological Forces:  new diseases, natural disasters, bioterrorism, etc., impacting the world’s health.
