Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - At no time in modern history has the United States faced such limited and costly choices for medical care. Each year, complexity, co-pays, deductibles, and premiums increase-while coverage, options, and timeliness decline. As a multi-trillion-dollar industry, our healthcare system is weighed down by inertia, with government ineptness and large corporate interests often standing in the way of meaningful reform.

As chairman of the Optimal Resource Utilization Committee at a local hospital, he helped reduce patient length of stay and improve outcomes while lowering costs. His lifelong commitment to improving efficiency and quality in medicine naturally culminated in this book-a blueprint for rescuing America's health care system.…
