Publisher's Synopsis
Best Care Anywhere uses the VA turnaround to illustrate deeper lessons for the U.S. health care system. In particular, it shows how fee-for-service health care leads to more expensive, less comprehensive, and less effective health care. New to this edition:
- Discussion of vast changes in health care politics since 2007
- New insights on how the VA model will shape 21st century health care
- How Bush administration policies undermined the most successful aspects of VA health care
- Updated coverage of federal information technology initiatives in health care, thanks in part to the success of the VA model in that area
