%X HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS in Australia and abroad encompass multiple ?models of care?. While diversity is inevitable, the models of care can be contradictory and controversial. International influences are acknowledged. From a policy perspective, the Department of Health in the United Kingdom has issued a number of documents outlining models of care that are being trialled or mainstreamed. These include an NHS (National Health Service) and social care model and a chronic disease management model.1,2 These models are based on a version of a health insurer model of care from the United States that originated with Kaiser Permanente.
