Demand Better! Revive Our Broken Healthcare System

Unfortunately, we have a long way to go before we can depend on safe, effective health care in American hospitals. I'm grateful to thought leaders like Drs. Sanjaya Kumar and David Nash who bring rare clarity to both the problems and the solutions. This book is an excellent overview of complex and sensitive issues, and a well-lit road map for those of us determined to bring about real change. ~ Leah F. Binder, MA, MGA - Chief Executive Officer of The Leapfrog Group, Washington D.C. Demand Better! Revive Our Broken Healthcare System by Drs. Sanjaya Kumar and David Nash makes a significant contribution to the rapidly evolving literature documenting the current healthcare crisis in America. Take this book seriously! All of us should read it with the safety of our friends, families and ourselves firmly in mind. Doctors Kumar and Nash have given us a burning platform from which to mandate quantum improvement in American medical practice. That massive reorientation will not be easy to accomplish, but it is necessary, if we are to improve the results they cite as placing us at the bottom of so many international health status indicators. It is the right thing to do not only for our patients but for our children and grandchildren. ~ Glenn W. Mitchell, MD, MPH, FACEP - Chief Medical Officer, Sisters of Mercy Health System
