Description
Houle, a futurism consultant to business leaders, and Fleece, a health care attorney, explain how this new age will usher their country into a historically inevitable, transformative process in which the entire landscape of health care delivery and practice of medicine will change significantly. It will be a time of struggle and exhilaration, they promise, but the returns on investment and commitment will be staggeringly large and positive. Their topics include a quick history of medicine and payment systems, the present landscape, medical miracles around the corner, the dynamic flows in the economics of health care, what health care institutions and practitioners need to know and do in The New Health Age, and what policy makers and educators need to do.
