Patient No Longer: Why Healthcare Must Deliver the Care Experience That Consumers Want and Expect
“The coronavirus pandemic has validated the principles of this book—that we need healthcare with no address, helping people where they are and when they need it,” writes Stephen K. Klasko, MD, in Patient No Longer: Why Healthcare Must Deliver the Care Experience That Consumers Want and Expect. “Telehealth worked. Providing guidance to families worked. Listening worked. Even under our greatest threat since World War II, the principles of using digital medicine to get care out to people turned out to be critical.”
Klasko and Ryan Donohue explore this evolving delivery model in a fascinating look at the history of patient-centric care and the rise of the healthcare consumer as a powerful new voice. In addition to the compelling reasons why consumer-centric care is so crucial, the authors also share how leaders can work to build health systems focused on it.
