I got this book for my class and it was very helpful. It is very detailed and very clear. The book has lot of examples and touches every aspect of Healthcare
By Robert
It feels like the authors of this book were paid by the word. Chapters have irrelevant sections and sections have unnecessary details. Some examples:
-The section on member services describes a call center, including that call centers typically have cubicles with low walls to foster teamwork, an apparently critical detail for students of the healthcare system.
-"24 hours per day, 7 days per week (referred to as 24/7)" for those who've never heard the term "24/7"
-A section describing a system that used to be separate but has since been combined, followed by a description of how the two used to work when separate, "for clarity". I don't remember if the book even describes how it works now that it's combined.
-List after list that include failed systems and ideas or outdated terminology. In some cases knowing what hasn't worked is useful, but mostly it's just clutter that detracts from the important points.
-Lists of "keys" to success that include more than a dozen items, with questionable items such as "compassion"
Yes, the book is comprehesive; however, the unnecessary detail clouds key points and bores the reader. This book could easily be cut in half without losing any critical information.
