Читать книгу Discovering Precision Health - Lloyd Minor - Страница 26

Fax machines and electronic health records are far from the biggest issues facing U.S. health care, but their prominence in the health care system is a painful reminder of the system’s many shortcomings. Many thoughtful and often provocative books have been written documenting those shortcomings, such as The Innovators Prescription: A Disruptive Solution for Health Care, by Clayton Christensen and Jerome Grossman; The American Health Care Paradox: Why Spending More Is Getting Us Less, by Elizabeth Bradley and Harvey V. Fineberg; More Than Medicine: The Broken Promise of American Health, by Robert M. Kaplan; and An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back, by Elisabeth Rosenthal. My intent here is to briefly highlight a few of the fundamental problems that handicap the system, since they underscore the need for the kinds of new approaches represented by Precision Health.
