About this book

A revolution in American medicine is in full swing, with the race from fee-for-service to fee-for-value at the front line in an epic battle that will transform healthcare delivery for decades to come. In America’s Healthcare Transformation, eminent physician leader Robert A. Phillips brings together key thought leaders and trail-blazing practitioners, who provide a wide-ranging exploration of the strategies, innovations, and paradigm shifts that are driving this healthcare transformation.
The contributors offer a panoramic look at the dramatic changes happening in the field of medicine, changes that put the patient at the heart of the process. Among other subjects, the essays evaluate innovative high quality and low cost care delivery solutions from around the United States and abroad, describe fundamental approaches to measuring the safety of care and the impact that guidelines have on improving quality of care and outcomes, and make a strong case that insurance reform will fundamentally and irreversibly drive delivery reform. In addition, America’s Healthcare Transformation reviews the role of health information technology in creating safer healthcare, provides a primer on the development of a culture of safety, and highlights ground-breaking new ways to train providers in patient safety and quality. Finally, the book looks at reports from Stanford Health Care and Houston Methodist which outline how successful behaviorally based strategies, anchored in values, can energize and empower employees to deliver a superior patient experience.
Drawing on the wisdom and vision of today’s leading healthcare innovators, America’s Healthcare Transformation provides a roadmap to the future of American healthcare. This book is essential reading for all health care providers, health care administrators, and health policy professionals, and it will be an invaluable resource in the effort to improve the practice of medicine and the delivery of healthcare in our communities and nation.

Reviews

"Based on his own experience in leading effective change in one of America’s premier academic hospitals, Dr. Phillips has brought together leaders from many disciplines to provide guidance on steering medical institutions through the current turbulent changes in U.S. healthcare. By focusing on the key elements in the evolving transformation of healthcare – safety and quality; the redesign of healthcare delivery; new models of medical practice; methods of reimbursement; and the patient experience – the book provides a comprehensive overview of where we are, how we got here, and where we still need to go to assure that our healthcare system meets the needs of all patients with the highest quality and in the most compassionate, effective, and efficient manner. As such, it has much to offer a wide range of individuals, from the lay public and those interested in healthcare policy, to those charged with leading operational change in their own institutions on a daily basis.”
— Barry S. Coller, M.D., Physician in Chief and Vice President for Medical Affairs, The Rockefeller University

"America's Healthcare Transformation claims that we are in the midst of a fundamental transformation of the practice of medicine and the $3 trillion annual health care industry. Indeed, this claim is persuasively and seamlessly documented by the contents of the book describing 5 domains: patient safety and quality; health care delivery redesign; emerging paradigms in the practice of medicine; health care delivery reform; and the patient experience."
— Journal of Public Health Management and Practice
