美国残疾人的未来将取决于美国如何准备和管理未来二三十年将出现的人口，财政和技术发展。基于医学研究所之前的两项研究（1991年医学研究所的报告《美国残疾人》和1997年的报告《使能美国》），《美国残疾人的未来》审查了限制残疾人独立性、生产力和参与社区生活的持续障碍的进展和关切。这本书提供了一个广泛的问题，包括整个生命周期的残疾患病率的全面审视;残疾趋势辅助技术的作用;卫生保健和其他设施与难以进入的建筑物，设备和信息格式构成的障碍;从儿科到成人卫生保健和成人经历过早衰老和继发性健康问题的需要;卫生保健融资方面的选定问题（例如，风险调整对健康计划的付款、辅助技术的覆盖范围）;以及组织和资助与残疾有关的研究。《美国残疾人的未来》是对残疾人政策和服务的原则和科学证据的评估。这本书的建议提出了消除障碍和加强证据基础的步骤，为未来的公共和私人行动，以减少残疾对个人，家庭和社会的影响。
The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.
