- The study highlights the critical role of medical and health service research in advancing clinical practices and improving health care delivery, yet notes a lack of comparative analysis between the U.S. and other developed nations.
- It reveals that while U.S. funding for medical research grew initially, the growth rate has significantly slowed down in recent years and that there is an imbalance in funding where certain diseases receive disproportionately high support compared to others.
- Additionally, it points out an alarming underfunding of health service innovation compared to scientific research, indicating that investment from both private insurers and health systems is notably low, with suggestions for substantial increases in annual funding to improve service innovation.

Over the past decade, many observers predicted the demise of the academic medical center (AMC) due to competition from community hospitals and physicians, fragile finances, inefficiency, and organizational complexity. In 2004, we interviewed 23 AMC and community hospital administrators to determine why those predictions have proven unfounded, learn the leaders' current concerns and priorities, and to identify desirable changes. Chief concerns were reimbursement uncertainty, federal research policy, ineffective internal decision-making, and clinical quality (mentioned in more than 75% of interviews).
