How do medical staff offer care and hope to patients and families when faced with the mayhem and lottery of a broken healthcare system? 'A fascinating and beautifully written memoir that reminds us what we have with our NHS - and what we stand to lose' Christie Watson 'A tour de force... lyrical and riveting prose' Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone 'Nuila details the horrific reality of the American healthcare system from the front lines, and shows us why it doesn't have to be like that' Sally Hayden, author of My Fourth Time, We Drowned The People's Hospital is the story of how Ben Taub Hospital strives to provide healthcare to Houston's most vulnerable population, against the background of the chaos of American healthcare. By telling the frequently heartbreaking stories of patients who have had to battle their desperate financial circumstances as well as life-threatening illness - from Rogelio, a twenty-something, undocumented immigrant from Mexico recently diagnosed with kidney disease, to Roxana, a Salvadoran woman who appears in ER after a life-saving surgery resulted in her developing potentially fatal complications - and many more. These are extraordinary stories in which doctors are tied up with complex moral questions about money versus healthcare, and patients manipulate their health conditions in dangerous ways in order to be eligible for life-saving treatment that they cannot afford.

“Nuila’s storytelling gifts place him alongside colleagues like Atul Gawande.” —Los Angeles Times This “compelling mixture of health care policy and gripping stories from the frontlines of medicine” (The Guardian) explores the question: where does an uninsured person go when turned away by hospitals, clinics, and doctors? Here, we follow the lives of five uninsured Houstonians as their struggle for survival leads them to a hospital that prioritizes people over profit. First, we meet Stephen, the restaurant franchise manager who signed up for his company’s lowest priced plan, only to find himself facing insurmountable costs after a cancer diagnosis. Then Christian—a young college student and retail worker who can’t seem to get an accurate diagnosis, let alone treatment, for his debilitating knee pain. Geronimo, thirty-six years old, has liver failure, but his meager disability check disqualifies him for Medicaid—and puts a life-saving transplant just out of reach. Roxana, who’s lived in the community without a visa for more than two decades, suffers from complications related to her cancer treatment. And finally, there’s Ebonie, a young mother whose high-risk pregnancy endangers her life. Whether due to immigration status, income, or the vagaries of state Medicaid law, all five are denied access to care. For all five, this exclusion could prove life-threatening. Each patient eventually lands at Ben Taub, the county hospital where Dr. Nuila has worked for over a decade. Nuila delves with empathy into the experiences of his patients, braiding their dramas into a singular narrative that contradicts the established idea that the only way to receive good health care is with good insurance. As readers follow the moving twists and turns in each patient’s story, it’s impossible to deny that our system is broken—and that Ben Taub’s innovative model, where patient care is more important than insurance payments, could help light the path forward.

"Durban's McCord Hospital, this book argues, is one of the most important hospitals of the twentieth century. Founded 'for the Zulu' in 1909 by American Christian missionaries, Dr James B. McCord and Margaret Mellen McCord, for more than a century it was a centre of affordable health care for the underprivileged of many faiths, cultures and political persuasions. It also pioneered the training of black nurses, midwives and doctors and was supported by prominent figures such as John L. Dube and Chief Albert Luthuli."--

The PEOPLE'S HOSPITAL: A History of Cookeville Regional Medical Center, 1950-2010. From dramatic life-saving medical advances to the rise of health care as one of the nation's largest industries, the transformation in medicine over the past 60 years has been nothing short of a revolution. How the people of Cookeville, Tennessee, helped their local hospital navigate the often-stormy political and financial waters of change in health care is a story as full of intrigue, suspense, heartache and joy as the history of any human endeavor. The People's Hospital: A History of Cookeville Regional Medical Center, 1950-2010 traces the origins of Cookeville's public hospital, which began as a 15-bed private clinic built by a local surgeon just off the town square in 1921, to its status as regional referral medical center 60 years later. Bought by the city in 1927, the hospital was supervised by head nurses until 1950, when the city built its replacement on the west side of town. Five physicians and 33 nurses and staff members cared for the patients admitted to the new hospital in its first year; by 2010, the staff had grown to 1,800, with more than 140 active physicians.Telling the story of a hospital is a rare form of local history, and yet hospitals play a huge role in the life of any community. That's especially true when the hospital is public, because its origins and fate are inextricably tied to the well-being of the town or county that owns it. The People's Hospital illustrates how the business of saving lives transformed a modest public hospital into a regional medical center, becoming an investment for the well-being and prosperity of the people who own it.

In 2006, Dr Wang Shan was appointed as the president of Peking University People's Hospital (hereafter referred to as PKUPH), a large class 3A public hospital in China. Prior to his appointment, PKUPH had experienced three consecutive years of financial losses due to poor internal management. No standard operating procedure was established to prescribe the level of activity expected from each responsible person or decision units, and the amount of resources that a responsible party should use in achieving that level of activity. No formal management control systems were installed to collect, process, analyse accounting (particularly cost-related) information and provide timely feedback to the management. As a result, actual costs significantly exceeded budget. This case study examines this issue.
