Health Care Reboot: Megatrends Energizing American Medicine - Hardcover

by Michael J. Dowling (Author), Charles Kenney (Author)

Health Care Reboot - Megatrends Energizing American Medicine -
injects a much-needed dose of optimism into the national health care debate.
The book makes a compelling case that a series of powerful trends are leading
the nation's health care system toward greater quality, safety, access, and
affordability. The trends include historic breakthroughs in treatments for
heart disease and cancer; integration of behavioral health services into
primary care; recognizing and acting upon the broad effect of social
determinants of health; consumer empowerment focused on measures and outcomes
that matter most to patients; paying for value rather than volume causing
doctors and hospitals to shift to a newly aggressive proactive approach to
caring for patients. Collectively, these trends are rebooting our health care
system to better serve the needs of providers, payers, and, most importantly,
patients.
