Patients Matter Most

Patients MatterMost explores all aspects of the evolving need to rethink what healthcare providers do, how and where they do it, and who gets paid for what. Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg brings a lifetime of experience as a surgeon, medical school professor, and health system CEO to the task. Writing in a way that is accessible to consumers as well as medical providers, he connects the dots between parallel developments in technology and in healthcare delivery. These connections bring inevitable changes and risks affecting all of us everywhere in the world. In this new landscape, healthcare is everywhere, including in our homes, for those with the resources and willingness to take more personal responsibility for our well-being. This book is a wake-up call for the healthcare industry, policymakers, and ordinary people who want a better grasp of the trends they are experiencing.
