Our Health Plan: Community Governed Healthcare That Works -- Jim Rickards

<p>Just when you thought there was no cure for an ailing healthcare system, <em>Our Health Plan</em> will change your mind entirely. Chronicling the journey of a single community through the labyrinth of local healthcare in its efforts to effect change, proponents focus on the most economically disadvantaged and vulnerable-the Medicaid population, as well as reaching out to the commercially insured, creating a revolutionary Coordinated Care Organization, or CCO, in the process. Harnessing the power of its doctors, hospitals, dentists, psychologists, addiction counselors, paramedics, educators, and other integral healthcare forces, the medical community learns to work as a cohesive unit. Results include vastly improved care, reduced costs, favorable relationships and communication among providers, and patients with a decisive voice in a totally reimagined healthcare system.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Jim Rickards<br><b>Publisher:</b> Morgan James Publishing<br><b>Published:</b> 08/01/2017<br><b>Pages:</b> 182<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.52lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.42d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781683502982<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Dr. Jim Rickards is a healthcare transformer who happens to be a radiologist.
