"An informative and comprehensive analysis of an industry's shortcomings." — Kirkus Reviews
The Hidden Crisis discusses what the author calls the cracks in the American healthcare foundation. These cracks cause the needless deaths of Americans and spiraling healthcare costs, the most imminent threats to our society. This book highlights several complexities and issues to promote discussion and educate the readers about the healthcare system. The book also details several bizarre business models and quirky things that are unique to American healthcare.
The book points out why American consumers need to understand the healthcare system better; it shows how they can maneuver cleverly to save their lives and thousands of dollars. It also empowers healthcare executives, administrators, providers, consultants, innovators, entrepreneurs, and technologists with information around how the system functions, and how they can make the overall system better.
Whether you are a consumer of healthcare, work in the healthcare industry (health systems and providers, health plans, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, brokers, consulting companies, healthcare technology, or other healthcare companies), or are otherwise engaged in the field, the book is a must-read.
