For years, many physicians have felt like mere captives in the game of fixing health care. Physicians are no longer pawns, they are prime movers. A groundswell of physician innovators, determined to rebuild care one step at a time, is exactly what the system needs.
The innovations that have the greatest potential are of a certain minimum size. They are characterized by the creation of small multidisciplinary teams — a few people to a few dozen — that are dedicated full time to a single effort to redesign care from scratch for a particular patient population. They deploy providers in nontraditional ways. They sometimes invent entirely new roles and team structures for health care delivery.
How Physicians Can Fix Health Care: One Innovation at a Time is the essential step-by-step guide for physician innovators, their teams and the senior leaders in their organizations.
