Essential Rational Healthcare Economics: Past, Present and Future

KJ Lee's latest edition of the Essential Medicine book series aims to provide exactly what our understanding of America's Healthcare Economics has been lacking: perspective. The burden of fixing America's Healthcare economy should not be shouldered by economists alone. Healthcare providers and their patients should have a seat at the table, or they will be the ones left to continue to finance this trillion-dollar (and growing) quandary. With insightful and provocative chapters written by a diverse collection of world renown physicians and nurses, veterans of hospital administrations, business leaders of the nation's most successful group practices, and more, Essential Rational Healthcare Economics: Past, Present, and Future takes a much-needed scientific approach to the difficulties with the current state of Healthcare Economics. This book provides primary evidence from multiple sources, introduces critical analysis from industry experts, compares findings with international standards and best practices, and culminates with a summary of discussion and a recommendation - perhaps even a warning - for the future. Today is the last chance to save tomorrow.
