Dr. Henry Buchwald, inspired by witnessing and experiencing the changes in healthcare and its delivery over the past 50 years, delves into the current state of healthcare in the United States. His narrative encompasses the history, historical data, and personal experiences of a healthcare system that has shifted its focus away from caring for patients. This expensive and impersonal system, he believes, may not be in the best interest of the nation or the people it purports to heal.
As the title suggests, healthcare has been turned upside down, serving the administrators of the system rather than its primary function of providing the best care for patients. With this fundamental principle in mind, the topics presented in this book explore healthcare statistics and alterations to the language of medicine. The chapters delve into transformations in medical schools, clinics, offices, hospitals, and practices. Additionally, chapters discuss the role of payers, public health research, pandemics, including COVID-19, the advantages and disadvantages of socialized medicine, and the broken doctor/patient relationship.
Finally, Dr. Buchwald offers insights on the areas where future healthcare efforts can be most effectively directed. Healthcare Upside Down, through its thoughtful analysis of the pervasive administrative domination in healthcare, considers the various ways we can turn the current system right-side up to serve the ultimate beneficiaries: all of us as patients, present and future.
