Personnel And Programs In Health Delivery To Texans, 1928-1978
Abstract
During the past fifty years, health care delivery has been in a state of constant change. As increasing demands have been placed upon the delivery system, personnel and programs have evolved to respond to these needs. This study begins with the Depression era of the 1930's and surveys important changes in the mind set of Americans and Texans toward individual and government responsibility for health care. With gradual changes in funding sources, programs dealing in all realms of assistance multiplied because of increased federal expenditures. As health care is divided and delegated to an enlarging and more technically trained medical team further specialization is inevitable. The delivery system continues to evolve in such a way as to increase the availability of services, while striving to avoid prohibitive costs to the public it serves.
