The Third Healthcare Revolution - Sir Muir Gray

Sir Muir Gray recently presented a public lecture in Sydney focusing on health reform and medical practice variation.  He believes we are in the midst of a Third Healthcare Revolution driven by citizens, knowledge and the Internet.  Sir Muir argues that despite the significant clinical advances of the last 50 years, health services are faced with the same persistent problems: patient harm, waste, unwarranted variation, inequity, and failure to prevent the preventable. Health services are also faced with the new challenges of rising demand and resource constraints.
