Bringing Value to Healthcare
Bringing Value to Healthcare

ST. LOUIS, MO (PRWEB) February 18, 2016 -- In their latest book, “Bringing Value to Healthcare: Practical Steps for Getting to a Market-Based Model,” Rita Numerof and Michael Abrams lay out the roadmap to a healthcare system that is truly accountable for delivering optimal patient outcomes at a sustainable cost.

Bringing Value to Healthcare is the handbook for payer, provider, pharmaceutical and medical device executives seeking to preserve today’s profitability while positioning their organizations for success in the very different markets of tomorrow.

Post this

The healthcare sector is on the cusp of sweeping disruption. The hallmarks of the old system – pricing that’s disconnected from outcomes and incentives for treating sickness rather than maintaining health – are no longer sustainable. And yet, after decades of financial success, it’s difficult for most established industry players to grapple with meaningful changes to their business models.

“This is the handbook for payer, provider, pharmaceutical and medical device executives seeking to preserve today’s profitability while positioning their organizations for success in the very different markets of tomorrow,” said Numerof. “Getting to a new future isn’t easy. But if it can’t be envisioned, it can’t be realized. ‘Bringing Value to Healthcare’ is that critical first step.”

Based on in-depth research and decades of experience consulting with leading hospitals, insurers, and device and drug manufacturers, Numerof and Abrams provide a market-based approach to addressing the ills of the current healthcare system.

In addition to highlighting industry challenges and opportunities, the authors also outline the changes required of consumers, employers and policymakers to move to a patient-centered model characterized by value, accountability and transparency. The book’s guidance is illuminated by case studies and each chapter concludes with a self-assessment tool and key questions.

“A new reality is coming,” said Abrams. “All industry players – providers, insurers, and manufacturers – have a decision to make: will they cling to the business models that served them in the past? Or will they future-proof their organizations?”

What Others Are Saying About Bringing Value to Healthcare

“…lasting change is really a matter of leadership. In this book, Rita and Michael describe the knowledge and actions needed from the board chair to the department head…”
—Joe Mott, Vice President, Population Health, Intermountain Healthcare

“No one can examine, investigate, study, discuss and research the myriad of forces and role-players in the healthcare arena better than the team of Rita Numerof and Michael Abrams. … a masterpiece for all stakeholders...”
—Robert Z. Gussin, PhD, Retired Vice President for Science and Technology, Chief Scientific Officer, Johnson & Johnson

“Bringing Value to Healthcare presciently describes a future where healthcare is hugely changed – and how we are going to get there.
—George C. Halvorson, Chair, Institute for InterGroup Understanding; Retired Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kaiser Permanente

“…this book is a must read for C-Suite healthcare executives who want to know how to survive and flourish when the payment models of the past are becoming increasingly obsolete.”
—Paul Howard, PhD, Director and Senior Fellow, Center for Medical Progress, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research
