About the Book

This book offers new ideas for aligning the American healthcare system to optimize health for everyone. Bridging real-world examples and innovative strategies, it leverages a patient-centric framework to explore healthcare lifecycles and identify primary groups in its ecosystem. Chapters explore critical topics from a comparative global perspective, including the role of government in driving access, the private sector's contribution to quality, and the value of integrating social determinants in policy to achieve health equity. By advocating for public-private collaboration, this work presents actionable solutions to challenges facing the country's modern healthcare system such as resource allocation and long wait times. Designed for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and advocates, it highlights the need for bipartisan approaches, cutting-edge patient care models, and the integration of empathy and culture in healthcare delivery. Addressing affordability, equity, and inclusivity, this book equips readers with a roadmap for reimagining healthcare systems that truly serve everyone.

Review :
'Gregory J. Privitera and James J. Gillespie have created an exceptional picture of the multi-layered opportunities within US health care today.  They consistently bring their thesis back to the patients and the drivers of health, both medical and social, even as they tackle the forces of payor, government, investment and healthcare models. Having all this in one volume is a massive gift for anyone who has an interest in healthcare.'
