Abstract
The extensive transformation of the PACE delivery system is a pertinent issue in the developmental history of this particular product. Over its 20-year history, the various evolutionary stages were fairly well anticipated as part of the natural growth path of the services and product. As a conseqence, a reasonably smooth evolution has unfolded from the origins of the first system to the current status of the product.
Coauthored with Patricia L. Tikkanen, R.N., M.S.N., former Vice President, Strategic Planning, PACE Health Management Systems, Inc.
