Hardback. Condition: Good. The United States spends far more money on health care than any other country, and yet nearly 50,000,000 Americans are uninsured at least part of the time each year. Health Care Reform Now is written for anyone who cares enough about our health care situation to consider serious alternatives to the current system. In this book George Halvorson - an internationally known health care leader and author - offers a sensible approach to health care reform and universal coverage that can work for all stakeholders. Step by step, George Halvorson outlines a game plan to create a truly world-class health care system that will appeal to policy makers on both ends of the political spectrum and will deliver health care with improved quality, better access, provider accountability, performance transparency, consumer choice, and individual empowerment. As readable as it is instructive, Health Care Reform Now proposes a practical model that solves the unsolvable by identifying specific areas where health care performance improvement can create better outcomes, better choices, and far better use of the health care dollar. Halvorson also explains why reform itself needs to be a product rather than just a concept. He explains why quick action is essential and how using the right tools - the focus on real costs and the use of real data and better caregiver support systems - can make universal coverage easy to administer, efficient, affordable, and free in three years compared to what the total cost of care would be without universal coverage.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Since September 27, 2007, George Halvorson has personally written a weekly letter -- delivered each Friday to all employees -- celebrating achievements, successes, awards, and milestones of Kaiser Permanente. He has not missed a week. Topics have included Kaiser Permanente's leadership role in slashing HIV-AIDS mortality rates in half, reducing pressure ulcers by 60 percent, preventing the number of broken bones in senior citizens by more than 30 percent -- plus achieving recognition for health plan quality and service, electronic health records, research, environmental stewardship, employee diversity, and member satisfaction. These letters provide a unique and personal glimpse inside Kaiser Permanente, an organization that is both learning how to deliver the next generation of care, and teaching the world how to provide the very best patient-focused, electronically connected team care resulting in measurable and continuously improving medical outcomes. These are the exact letters that went to all members of the Kaiser Permanente care teams. Every single letter is a celebration. Enjoy the book. This book tells a fascinating story of what it means to be a high-performing organization at the top of its game -- week in and week out. -- Stephen M. Shortell, PhD Dean, School of Public Health University of California, Berkeley The letters are fun to read. They celebrate great achievements. They show what an organization based on a strong patient-centered physician culture, supported by state-of-the-art information technology well used, and by visionary leadership can do to improve health care. -- Alain Enthoven, PhD Eccles Professor of Public and Private Management (Emeritus) Knight Management Center Stanford University Graduate School of Business.…
