We have a problem in healthcare.
That problem is this: in today’s healthcare environment, especially in the United States, people take a back seat to the numbers in almost every aspect of healthcare service delivery. Productivity, utilization, and other business metrics rule the roost.
Through an exploration of both clinical research and real-life examples and cases, Better Outcomes: A Guide to Humanizing Healthcare outlines and supports a vision of a new healthcare, where skilled, competent, and caring clinicians care for engaged patients to promote better clinical outcomes, deliver unmatched satisfaction, and lasting relationships.
