Furthermore, there are major problems of overuse, underuse, and misuse of healthcare. Beyond the healthcare reform legislation passed in 2010 mandate, major transformation of how U.S. A healthcare system is comprised of multiple levels. Purpose: This article briefly outlines the need for transformational change in healthcare and key conceptual issues. Methods: We identified literature and concepts relevant to developing a research agenda on transformational change in healthcare. Relevant concepts were further developed through conference presentations and discussions.
