Summary:
"In the American effort to improve
health
care
quality, access and affordability, the doctor crisis is routinely overlooked. More than 80 percent of American doctors say that the medical profession is "in decline." Three in five would like to quit. Kaiser Permanente, one of the world's leading
health
care
providers, is an object lesson in the complex and frustrating challenges facing so many
health
care
organizations today. When Dr. Jack Cochran took over leadership of the Colorado Permanente Medical Group in the mid-1990s, he oversaw high-quality medical teams providing excellent
care
, but dealt with organizational troubles so deep rooted that patients and physicians fled in droves. This book shows how we can improve
health
care
on a grass roots level, regardless of political policy disputes, by improving conditions for physicians and asking them to take on broader accountability. Doctors, they argue, are the key to making
health
care
truly great, and we must do all we can to preserve and enhance the careers of physicians. They clarify the steps needed to take to support doctors so that they can focus on patient
care
, and offer concrete ideas for creating an environment and establishing systems that encourage doctors to put patients' needs above all else"--Provided by publisher.
