Summary:

Healthcare is the biggest sector of the U.S. economy and the most dysfunctional. In 2010 we spent $2.6 trillion on healthcare in the U.S. We will waste at least 30 percent of that, about $780 billion -- eight times what it would take to cover every American. In Healthcare Beyond Reform: Doing It Right for Half the Cost, Joe Flower, a well respected healthcare futurist and industry thought leader, lays out his compelling practical vision of how healthcare can work better, and how we can get there by utilizing the resources we already have. The author provides a comprehensive, positive, and intriguing vision of the future of healthcare for professionals, employers and investors. This book is much more than a book about healthcare reform; it's a book which specifically tells healthcare providers how they can reposition their organizations to thrive as healthcare changes, regardless of what the government does. It also outlines how employers can save money and help their employees at the same time by changing the way they provide healthcare to their employees--Provided by publisher.
