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.
