Publisher's Synopsis
Feelin' Alright leverages the emotional power of song lyrics to inspire healthcare executives to envision and build a more accessible, high-quality, and equitable healthcare system. Using music as a metaphor, author Stephen Klasko encourages readers to examine what is problematic in the existing healthcare model and to take tangible steps toward a more consumer-centered healthcare experience.
Dr. Klasko shares his experiences as a physician, a health system CEO, a university president, and dean, and now bridging the gap between academic health systems and digital health innovators and entrepreneurs. Each chapter features his multifaceted perspective and is anchored with a song that reflects the chapter's central themes. Topics explored include: 'Why consumers are starting to rebel against traditional healthcare'; 'How technology can be used to transform healthcare through consumer empowerment'; 'How medical education must evolve to prepare physicians for paradigm shifts'; 'What radical changes are needed to decrease health inequity'.
Infused with the passion inherent in music, Feelin' Alright will motivate healthcare executives to take the lead in building a better healthcare system.
