“This book, almost to a page, is about solution, solution, solution, solution!”
“In The Long Fix, Vivian Lee M.D. crisply diagnoses the imperative to repair America’s health care system and offers understandable principles as a guide. She lights a path forward by applying lessons and observations from her unique experiences as a physician, health system leader, and now technology executive. This book matters to patients and their families. It matters to Americans who care about the economic future of our nation. It especially matters to government leaders and health care executives we depend on to find strategies that work for everyone.”
“Dr. Lee’s book is an insightful diagnostic look at what is not working in American medicine, and why, that is made compelling by her succinct, practical recommendations for what each of us—policy-maker, consumer, physician/health professional, and payer—can do now to realize the person-centered, high value health care system we all so long for.”
“An essential and timely guide for students, faculty, clinicians and policy makers - Dr. Lee has produced a highly readable, concise, and persuasive case for reinventing the business of healthcare in order to create a more efficient, safer system for all. This is the book to read if you want to understand how we can improve health care in America.”
“An engaging and upbeat book, The Long Fix doesn’t flinch from the challenges needed to overhaul the US health care system, but rather helps the reader envision what’s necessary for every player—hospitals, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, patients, and technology companies among others—to play their part. Weaving together diverse case studies with richly referenced explanations and analyses, Lee paints a picture of a brighter future where the right investments in prevention, public health, data, and technology can create a better health care system for all.”
“This is a well-researched and thoughtful book from one of our nation’s leaders in healthcare reform. Dr. Lee has written a practical guide with actionable solutions for policymakers, healthcare providers, and patients—a must-read!”
“Relevant to all who provide or receive health care in America.”
