Abstract :
The medical care crisis in the United States is attributable to a number of factors, among which are the shortage of physicians, the increased demands for care, and the inefficient use of existing facilities. Decent medical care for everyone is nevertheless a realistic goal. Essential to its achievement are the contributions that engineers can make.
