A Healthcare Solution

This book broadly adopts a resource management lens, viewing the healthcare sector from the perspective of information, material, and financial flows, to underlying problems with the delivery system. The book identifies the root causes of the problems plaguing healthcare systems and provides a thorough, simple, understandable, and high-impact set of solutions. The proposed solutions involve changes in patient behavior, how health insurance is provided, physician responsibility, hospital management, and the actions and roles of other groups that provide services to or interact with the healthcare system.
