ebook for September
Beginning Sept. 1, the ebook titled Flatlined: Resuscitating American Medicine by Guy Clifton will be available via netLibrary.
"By 2018 Medicare and Medicaid will consume about one-third of the federal budget. American businesses now pay three times as much of their payroll for health care as global competitors, a figure that is expected to worsen as health care grows at twice the rate of the U.S. economy. In Flatlined, Author Guy L. Clifton, M.D lifts the veil of secrecy on twenty-first century health care and delves into the realities of good people caught in a bad medical system. Arguing that a lack of coordinated care and quality medical practice benchmarks result in high levels of redundancy and ineffectiveness, Clifton proposes that the key to reducing health care costs, improving quality, and financially protecting the uninsured, is to reduce wastefulness, and offers a solution for achieving success."
To read this timely book, go to the library homepage, choose "Online Reference Resources," and then netLibrary. This book will be available during the month of September.
