"Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand healthcare today, the necessity of transforming the world's largest industry, and the ideas, companies, and people that will lead us back to the top."
--WILLIAM FRIST, MD, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader A BETTER PATH FORWARD FOR THE FRAGMENTED, BLOATED, AND EXPENSIVE U.S. HEALTHCARE SYSTEM The Coming Healthcare Revolution chronicles how the fragmentedand dysfunctional U.S. healthcare system (Healthcare Inc.) is bankrupting the country and contributing to Americans' declining health status. Powerfully, it reveals how the healthcare ecosystem is reorganizing to overcome Healthcare Inc.'s pernicious influence. And, here's the punchline: healthcare will change more in the next ten years than it has in the last one hundred. Written by two leading healthcare strategists, this book details a constellation of ten irresistible forces making U.S. healthcare better, cheaper, safer, and less burdensome for both consumersand caregivers. Readers will learn about the strategic bets that enlightened healthcare companies are making to create a future where all Americans get healthier together through democratized and decentralized delivery of whole-person health (3D-WPH). Drawing on lessons from the U.S. automobile crisis and the Great Migration, this book clearly explains how payers, providers, and suppliers must either adapt or get left behind. The Coming Healthcare Revolution is a timely, essential read for executives inside and outside healthcare seeking to understand the industry's dynamics and the emerging solutionsthat will advance our collective health.
