De la contraportada:

Great Health Care is enlightening and entertaining. It s a must read for physicians, patients, health policymakers and administrators, and the interested public---anyone who wants to understand what great health care is, and how we might build it together.

The authors share their stories and motivations and the methods they have used to transform care for their own patients within their own practices and health systems. They thoughtfully explore how we got into this mess, how we can get out of it, and the barriers to making it happen.

We believe the extra-ordinary efforts of our program coordinators are key to our clients wellbeing and our unusually low readmission rate. (Kathi Farrell, RN, BSN, PHN, Kathleen Sullivan, RN, MSN)

In real life, we are not usually given the chance to have a do-over. But we are given the chance to continuously improve. With the right skill sets, and the right partners, we can transform. (Eric Newman, MD)
