This is a fascinating book that challenges our thinking about how to create a more accessible, patient-centered and affordable healthcare system with better outcomes. The author lives in this space -- he is a physician, health-care leader and innovator. He also interviews many experts in the space. There are many factors disrupting the effectiveness of health care delivery today - aging population, shortage of health care providers (physicians, nurses, etc.), coverage across the US including rural communities, health care inequities and the high costs of care. On the plus side, this book outlines how technology and a reframing of how we think about delivery of health care can be game-changers. By reframing health care delivery from "point-of-care" to "point of need" - this frees up the ability for patients to access care 24/7 from where they live and work. Dr. Neuwirth also brings in a humanistic lens to solutions including a Contextual checklist as well as other tools that expand on how we think of patient care - for the whole human. In the end, it all boils down to leadership and their willingness to move beyond the status quo and innovate to deliver more effective and meaningful care that is accessible and achieves health outcomes. There is a supplement in the back of the book that outlines a roadmap of how to start on this journey of transforming health care. I recommend this read for those of us concerned about our health care system.
