在医疗市场竞争激烈的90年代,医院要想生存下去,就必须对它们治疗病人的传统宗旨进行重新审查。未来的做法应该是在健康人中间建立起一个范围广泛的医疗预防网.控制卫生保健费用必须与影响人们健康的最大因素——生活习惯——联系起来考虑。近来的研究表明,有半数以上的死亡原因都与生活习惯密切相关,业已证明预防保健是控制医疗费用上涨的有效方法。 In the fiercely competitive 1990s, if hospitals want to survive, they must re-examine the traditional purpose of treating patients. The future approach should be to establish a wide range of medical prevention networks among healthy people. Controlling health care costs must be considered in conjunction with the biggest factor affecting people’s health - lifestyle habits. Recent studies have shown that more than half of the death causes are closely related to lifestyle habits. It has been demonstrated that preventive health care is an effective method to control the rise in medical expenses.
