The nurse must recognize that in the health care delivery system, the major goal is to achieve optimal
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6
levels of health care. The health care system consists of a network of agencies, facilities, and
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6
providers involved with health care in a specified geographic area. Insurance companies do have
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6
involvement in the health care system. The illness of patients is not necessarily affected by the
b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6 b6
health care system.
