Rescuing Healthcare - A...

Anthony Bell, Denis A. Cortese

“Bell and Cortese clearly articulate the central importance of leadership to achieving high value, patient-centric health and wellness . . . compelling.”—William B. Rouse, PhD, author of Understanding and Managing the Complexity of Healthcare Healthcare in America is wildly inconsistent and uncomfortably close to bankruptcy, and the only way it can be rescued is with leaders in all the different areas of healthcare stepping up with the right kind of leadership. The problem is that they don’t realize the importance of their leadership, and even when they do, they don’t know how to lead. Rescuing Healthcare shows them (and the rest of us) why it’s so important that they do step up, and—the critical ingredient—it shows them how to exercise the right kind of leadership—whatever their role or contribution. And for the rest of us as consumers, it shows us what we should be expecting . . . and demanding. The goal of this book, then, is nothing less than the salvation and transformation of healthcare. “One of America’s most eminent medical executives and a highly-regarded thought leader in leadership have given us a masterful overview of healthcare leadership and how to improve it. Rescuing Healthcare gets straight to the point, with a sharp diagnosis of our ills and a clear vision of where healthcare needs to go. Drawing on a lifetime of experience, Dr. Cortese and Antony Bell offer a detailed strategy to unite your organization around a common purpose, improve patient care, and succeed in a value-based environment.” —Toby Cosgrove, MD, CEO and President, Cleveland Clinic

The Secret Life of Science - How...

Jeremy J. Baumberg

A revealing and provocative look at the current state of global scienceWe take the advance of science as given. But how does science really work? Is it truly as healthy as we tend to think? How does the system itself shape what scientists do? The Secret Life of Science takes a clear-eyed and provocative look at the current state of global science, shedding light on a cutthroat and tightly tensioned enterprise that even scientists themselves often don't fully understand.The Secret Life of Science is a dispatch from the front lines of modern science. It paints a startling picture of a complex scientific ecosystem that has become the most competitive free-market environment on the planet. It reveals how big this ecosystem really is, what motivates its participants, and who reaps the rewards. Are there too few scientists in the world or too many? Are some fields expanding at the expense of others? What science is shared or published, and who determines what the public gets to hear about? What is the future of science? Answering these and other questions, this controversial book explains why globalization is not necessarily good for science, nor is the continued growth in the number of scientists. It portrays a scientific community engaged in a race for limited resources that determines whether careers are lost or won, whose research visions become the mainstream, and whose vested interests end up in control.The Secret Life of Science explains why this hypercompetitive environment is stifling the diversity of research and the resiliency of science itself, and why new ideas are needed to ensure that the scientific enterprise remains healthy and vibrant.
