Abstract: Abstract In 1982, Paul Starr published his seminal work on the history of the U.S. medical profession, The Social Transformation of American Medicine. The latter half of his book described how physicians (and providers in general) came under attack toward the end of the twentieth century for the cost and quality of the care they rendered. Such attacks came in the form of “performance challenges” (were physicians practicing cost-effective medicine?) and, more importantly, “value challenges” (were physicians acting according to ethical standards and in society’s interest?).
