Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Health care plays a massive societal role. It is complex, and it is growing. Defining trends of the last decade have fundamentally altered the traditional dynamics of the field. A global pandemic is the current agent of disruption. The New Health Economy: Ground Rules for Leaders explores the impact of the 4Ps that influence the health economy - Politics, Policy, Providers and Personalization - in aggregate. While many books in the field consider one angle, this is the first book to represent the authors' 360-degree view, informed by case study interviews with 13 key leaders in health systems, provider networks, pharmaceuticals (Pfizer and J&J), insurers, public policy, the private sector (Walmart) and government agencies like the CDC. With expertise spanning clinical advancement and scientific discovery, health services and the health economy, health care politics and health financing and policy, and healt hcare digitization and data-driven personalization, Bisbee, Jain, and Trigg have worked and lived in health care for decades. They partner with executives across the health economy to help them navigate the intersectional forces of change every day. The New Health Economy, it is hoped, will play a critical role in sharing their collective insights to an even broader segment of leaders who are similarly making tough decisions that will redefine the future of health care in the years to come"--

This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living through what is arguably the most challenging time for the health care industry. Glaring gaps and inequities in health persist both within and between countries, underscoring our collective failure to share the dramatic health advances of the last century equitably. At the same time, health care is also changing dramatically and our concepts of medicine and health will be fundamentally redefined by the disruptive influences of exponentially growing technologies and converging fields within health and healthcare, new models for care delivery, the rise of consumerism and a quest to maximize value for patients, providers, payers and the system as a whole. yet the reality is that healthcare’s leadership has not kept pace with these challenges, and the results thereof are pretty stark for all to see. The purpose of this book is to provide healthcare leaders with a set of new skills and competencies that are critical if they and their organizations are to survive, let alone succeed in the New Health Economy.We’ll explore the five mainstays of leadership for the new health economy. I refer to these as the 5Qs and these are the critical skills and expertise leaders must learn to successfully navigate a rapidly changing world—not just to create strategic advantage for their organizations, but also to help build the kind of abundant equitable, inclusive and positive future we all want to live in. The 5Qs include IQ (Cognitive Intelligence ), eQ (Digital Emotional Intelligence, MQ (Moral Intelligence, NQ (Innovation Intelligence and SQ (Spiritual Intelligence)

Download or read book Building the New Economy written by Alex Pentland and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to empower people and communities with user-centric data ownership, transparent and accountable algorithms, and secure digital transaction systems. Data is now central to the economy, government, and health systems—so why are data and the AI systems that interpret the data in the hands of so few people? Building the New Economy calls for us to reinvent the ways that data and artificial intelligence are used in civic and government systems. Arguing that we need to think about data as a new type of capital, the authors show that the use of data trusts and distributed ledgers can empower people and communities with user-centric data ownership, transparent and accountable algorithms, machine learning fairness principles and methodologies, and secure digital transaction systems. It’s well known that social media generate disinformation and that mobile phone tracking apps threaten privacy. But these same technologies may also enable the creation of more agile systems in which power and decision-making are distributed among stakeholders rather than concentrated in a few hands. Offering both big ideas and detailed blueprints, the authors describe such key building blocks as data cooperatives, tokenized funding mechanisms, and tradecoin architecture. They also discuss technical issues, including how to build an ecosystem of trusted data, the implementation of digital currencies, and interoperability, and consider the evolution of computational law systems.

Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller/Washington Post Notable Book of 2017/NPR Best Books of 2017/Wall Street Journal Best Books of 2017 "This book will serve as the definitive guide to the past and future of health care in America.”—Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Gene At a moment of drastic political upheaval, An American Sickness is a shocking investigation into our dysfunctional healthcare system - and offers practical solutions to its myriad problems. In these troubled times, perhaps no institution has unraveled more quickly and more completely than American medicine. In only a few decades, the medical system has been overrun by organizations seeking to exploit for profit the trust that vulnerable and sick Americans place in their healthcare. Our politicians have proven themselves either unwilling or incapable of reining in the increasingly outrageous costs faced by patients, and market-based solutions only seem to funnel larger and larger sums of our money into the hands of corporations. Impossibly high insurance premiums and inexplicably large bills have become facts of life; fatalism has set in. Very quickly Americans have been made to accept paying more for less. How did things get so bad so fast? Breaking down this monolithic business into the individual industries—the hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and drug manufacturers—that together constitute our healthcare system, Rosenthal exposes the recent evolution of American medicine as never before. How did healthcare, the caring endeavor, become healthcare, the highly profitable industry? Hospital systems, which are managed by business executives, behave like predatory lenders, hounding patients and seizing their homes. Research charities are in bed with big pharmaceutical companies, which surreptitiously profit from the donations made by working people. Patients receive bills in code, from entrepreneurial doctors they never even saw. The system is in tatters, but we can fight back. Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal doesn't just explain the symptoms, she diagnoses and treats the disease itself. In clear and practical terms, she spells out exactly how to decode medical doublespeak, avoid the pitfalls of the pharmaceuticals racket, and get the care you and your family deserve. She takes you inside the doctor-patient relationship and to hospital C-suites, explaining step-by-step the workings of a system badly lacking transparency. This is about what we can do, as individual patients, both to navigate the maze that is American healthcare and also to demand far-reaching reform. An American Sickness is the frontline defense against a healthcare system that no longer has our well-being at heart.
