| Summary |
"A top healthcare futurist and consultant shows healthcare professionals and stakeholders how to redirect resources and leverage innovation to improve wellness and lower costs. The U.S. is the wealthiest nation on earth, but it spends its money and resources pursuing the wrong goal: curing people after they get sick. In The Healthcare Mandate, Nicholas J. Webb charts a bold new path that puts the focus not on reactionary treatment but on anticipation and prevention. He argues that we can leverage the technology that has resulted from disruptive innovation to fulfill these goals. Emerging digital technologies now make it possible to collect, analyze, and act upon the enormous quantities of health-related data that every individual generates every day. This data often foreshadows disease and can alert the healthcare provider to the existence of a life-threatening condition before there are any outward symptoms, thereby enabling caregivers to pivot from treatment after the fact to anticipation, prevention, and, when necessary, reduced treatment to correct a smaller problem. This approach not only improves health but lowers costs. Drawing upon his decades of experience as an industry expert with dozens of healthcare device patents, Webb analyzes the issues and provides insightful, actionable solutions made possible today by new technology"-- Provided by publisher. |
