An examination of the current employer-based administration of healthcare benefits in the United States which is often held up as a model of excellence and efficiency that government cannot match. It shows how even the vaunted employer-based system is riddled with flaws as it follows a person through their birth, childhood, adulthood, retirement, and death. Based on the author's own experience with benefits administration and analyzing the regrettable experiences he encountered in his work with healthcare consumers, Your Healthcare Sucks is an accurate indictment of the parlous state of the health benefits of even the best-off employees. It uses incidents from his own life to shed a light on the existence of the folks who provide your benefits administration. Whether you are concerned for your own health, the benefits of loved ones, or seeking to change the system of healthcare administration, this book is going to provide the information to help you secure lasting healthcare now and into the future.

So...just why are doctors feeling so sick about their own profession? And how has this translated to sicker people in America? The numbers speak for themselves: American spends the most money in the world on healthcare, yet ranks at 50 in health status of it's citizens. Over 60% of America's doctors would retire today if they had the means, over 77% are pessimistic about their professional futures, and over 84% believe that the medical profession is in decline. Clearly, America is facing an epidemic of MD malaise - and Help! My Practice Sucks delivers the needed medicine to doctors, an elite group of professionals who have the highest respect rating of all professions in the world, showing step-by-step, how to break the cycle of pain in their practices and establish a higher standard for themselves, their patients' care and their profit potential. During years of higher education, doctors focus almost exclusively on learning medical skills through rigorous medical school curriculums and residencies; that's to be expected, but it's no longer enough. Today, doctors must also take on board marketing and business skills in order to stand out from the competition, build their patient lists and bring in the income they require to create healthy, thriving practices (to pay off that $250K plus of debt from medical training) and have happy, fulfilling lives. The fact is most medical practices are focusing on the wrong things; cutting costs, downsizing and offering more "no-frills care," creating a declining standard that affects every aspect of clinical care. Still more are abandoning private practices altogether to become hospital employees. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare"), according to most physicians, has accelerated this trend at break neck speed; over 59% of doctors see it as another negative impacting their profession and their patients. "Too many highly-trained and highly-skilled doctors feel helpless in today's oppressive healthcare climate," says Dr. Veronica. "Frankly, this is the time for them to take charge of their own financial and professional fates. Help! My Practice Sucks will empower them to do just that, by providing the practical tools and knowledge they need to take their practices in a totally new, positive and productive direction." In this innovative and groundbreaking book, Dr. Veronica details how the patient-doctor relationship needs to be more of a business-client relationship - and how that approach translates into a big "win-win" for both. Patients actually get more of their needs met and amazing results with their health, while doctors are able to attract a steady stream of premium patients who become raving fans (and advocates) that offer a lifetime of loyalty. Help! My Practice Sucks offers, in each chapter, valuable "Action Steps" that allow doctors to jumpstart the process of transforming their practices into a known, respected and successful "brand" that becomes a client magnet, as well as a marketing machine that "sells" the practitioner in a credible and distinguished manner. Dr. Veronica understands that doctors are incredibly busy professionals; that's why Help! My Practice Sucks is written in concise and dynamic language that allows the reader to quickly grasp the sophisticated concepts being put forth, as well as actionable advice that allows those concepts to be rapidly and realistically implemented.

The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

Dr. Steven Kussin, physician and a pioneer in the Shared Decision movement, takes readers through the steps of how to avoid the many pitfalls of unnecessary and sometimes even dangerous medical care. The American healthcare system is subsidized by its services to healthy people. The goal as it is for any business is to encourage people to become consumers by creating an emotionally-fueled demand for things that are suddenly and urgently needed. It’s hard to make healthy people well; it’s easy to make them sick. Under the goal to make you even healthier, the medical industry identifies and encourages investigations and preventive technologies for ‘problems’ unlikely to occur, unlikely to harm, unlikely to benefit from testing, and, once diagnosed, unlikely to benefit from treatment. Profitable services go on indefinitely for those who are young and well. For the health care industry being in good health is not just the best way to live; good health is also the slowest way to die. Many people find themselves on what the author calls the Slippery Slope, experiencing a cascade of escalating misfortunes produced by more tests with incrementally greater risk, expense, and fewer benefits. Many people, who, in the attempt to improve what is already just fine, unquestioningly pay an immediate and visible price for what are distant, invisible, and uncertain benefits. The central starting point for initiating a Slippery Slope adventure can be the first blood test, the first screening test, the first x-ray, the first pill, or the first diagnosis that’s accepted by unwitting and trusting consumers. The bottom of the Slippery Slope is occupied by those previously well but who now are damaged, and by others who suffered needless unscheduled deaths. America’s famed consumer skepticism when judging retail products is curiously and dangerously absent in their interactions within the healthcare system. Here, Steven Kussin offers strategies that give readers knowledge and power by offering unique perspectives, information, and resources. He confronts the mighty forces arrayed against health care consumers and helps readers learn to identify them themselves. The power of money, the authority of science, the stature of physicians, the lure of elective health ‘improvements’, the promise of technology, and the pitch perfect, perfect pitches of televised ads all conspire to push people in directions that are often at odds with their stated priorities and interests. This book is dedicated to one lesson: The view from atop the Slope, before making a health care decision, is better than the view from the bottom, after having made a bad one.

Suck it up, America, The Tough Choices We Face for Real Healthcare Reform is a unique combination, a blend of experience and rational analysis which reveals the personal impact of healthcare policies and gives insight into the real reasons why physicians treat people the way they do. It also points out the unspoken truths that we will never reduce healthcare costs until we deliver (and demand) less and that a large portion of the care we render is useless or even

The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.

"[This book is] the most authoritative assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of recent trends toward the commercialization of health care," says Robert Pear of The New York Times. This major study by the Institute of Medicine examines virtually all aspects of for-profit health care in the United States, including the quality and availability of health care, the cost of medical care, access to financial capital, implications for education and research, and the fiduciary role of the physician. In addition to the report, the book contains 15 papers by experts in the field of for-profit health care covering a broad range of topicsâ€"from trends in the growth of major investor-owned hospital companies to the ethical issues in for-profit health care.

In 2015, building on the advances of the Millennium Development Goals, the United Nations adopted Sustainable Development Goals that include an explicit commitment to achieve universal health coverage by 2030. However, enormous gaps remain between what is achievable in human health and where global health stands today, and progress has been both incomplete and unevenly distributed. In order to meet this goal, a deliberate and comprehensive effort is needed to improve the quality of health care services globally. Crossing the Global Quality Chasm: Improving Health Care Worldwide focuses on one particular shortfall in health care affecting global populations: defects in the quality of care. This study reviews the available evidence on the quality of care worldwide and makes recommendations to improve health care quality globally while expanding access to preventive and therapeutic services, with a focus in low-resource areas. Crossing the Global Quality Chasm emphasizes the organization and delivery of safe and effective care at the patient/provider interface. This study explores issues of access to services and commodities, effectiveness, safety, efficiency, and equity. Focusing on front line service delivery that can directly impact health outcomes for individuals and populations, this book will be an essential guide for key stakeholders, governments, donors, health systems, and others involved in health care.

Improving our nation's healthcare system is a challenge which, because of its scale and complexity, requires a creative approach and input from many different fields of expertise. Lessons from engineering have the potential to improve both the efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery. The fundamental notion of a high-performing healthcare system-one that increasingly is more effective, more efficient, safer, and higher quality-is rooted in continuous improvement principles that medicine shares with engineering. As part of its Learning Health System series of workshops, the Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Value and Science-Driven Health Care and the National Academy of Engineering, hosted a workshop on lessons from systems and operations engineering that could be applied to health care. Building on previous work done in this area the workshop convened leading engineering practitioners, health professionals, and scholars to explore how the field might learn from and apply systems engineering principles in the design of a learning healthcare system. Engineering a Learning Healthcare System: A Look at the Future: Workshop Summary focuses on current major healthcare system challenges and what the field of engineering has to offer in the redesign of the system toward a learning healthcare system.
