The
biggest
problem
in
American
health
care
is
us
Do
you
know
how
to
tell
good
health
care
from
bad
health
care?
Guess
again.
As
patients,
we
wrongly
assume
the
"best"
care
is
dependent
mainly
on
the
newest
medications,
the
most
complex
treatments,
and
the
smartest
doctors.
But
Americans
look
for
health-care
solutions
in
the
wrong
places.
For
example,
hundreds
of
thousands
of
lives
could
be
saved
each
year
if
doctors
reduced
common
errors
and
maximized
preventive
medicine.
For
Dr.
Robert
Pearl,
these
kinds
of
mistakes
are
a
matter
of
professional
importance,
but
also
personal
significance:
he
lost
his
own
father
due
in
part
to
poor
communication
and
treatment
planning
by
doctors.
And
consumers
make
costly
mistakes
too:
we
demand
modern
information
technology
from
our
banks,
airlines,
and
retailers,
but
we
passively
accept
last
century's
technology
in
our
health
care.
Solving
the
challenges
of
health
care
starts
with
understanding
these
problems.Mistreatedexplains
why
subconscious
misperceptions
are
so
common
in
medicine,
and
shows
how
modifying
the
structure,
technology,
financing,
and
leadership
of
American
health
care
could
radically
improve
quality
outcomes.
This
important
book
proves
we
can
overcome
our
fears
and
faulty
assumptions,
and
provides
a
roadmap
for
a
better,
healthier
future.
