The use of digitized health information can dramatically improve American health care. While the destruction of the old ways of medical practice may be an unavoidable source of anxiety, the future of American medicine promises an era of better, safer and more patient-centered care.
Demanding Medical Excellence is recommended in economics and health policy by the National Library of Medicine. It has been used as a text at New York City’s New School and the Harvard School of Public Health and at medical schools, business schools and in undergraduate courses in this country and internationally.
