American healthcare costs too much and delivers inconsistent quality. Ezekiel J. Emanuel tackles this central challenge by studying medical organizations that have cracked the code. He examines twelve specific practices that enable these standout groups to deliver superior care at lower costs while focusing on patients. Emanuel bypasses the famous healthcare titans everyone assumes lead the field. Instead, he profiles a carefully chosen collection of genuine innovators, from small physician offices to large multi-specialty practices, accountable care organizations, and for-profit companies. These organizations have instituted concrete changes that work. Emanuel analyzes what makes them successful and how their methods could reshape the entire healthcare sector. The book provides practical tools for recognizing high-quality care providers and offers crucial insights for healthcare workers, investors, and patients navigating the system.
