The compelling account of the real solution to our healthcare crisisleadership
the only solution that has a chance of working!
Healthcare in America is wildly inconsistent and uncomfortably close to bankruptcy, and the only way it can be rescued is with leaders in all the different areas of healthcare stepping up with the right kind of leadership. The problem is that they dont realize the importance of their leadership, and even when they do, they dont know how to lead. Rescuing Healthcare shows them (and the rest of us) why its so important that they do step up, andthe critical ingredientit shows them how to exercise the right kind of leadershipwhatever their role or contribution. And for the rest of us as consumers, it shows us what we should be expecting
and demanding. The goal of this book, then, is nothing less than the salvation and transformation of healthcare.
