Riassunto

What happens when healthcare innovation meets international collaboration?

Chaos. Expensive, well-documented chaos.

Healthcare Disruption & Entropy, 4th Ed. follows twelve healthcare professionals from around the world as they form an international working group to share best practices and transform patient care. Their mission: innovation. Their method: systematic. Their outcome: catastrophic.

Watch as they:

• Spend millions developing patient surveys requiring philosophy degrees
• Create credentialing systems that eliminate physicians faster than they can be trained
• Form 18-month committees to decide how to ask patients if they're satisfied
• Import each other's worst ideas and call it "international collaboration"
• Measure everything except what matters
• Rebrand every failure as "implementation learning"

Through brilliant satire and razor-sharp wit, this novel exposes the bureaucratic insanity of modern healthcare administration. From Boston to Berlin, Paris to Ottawa, witness intelligent professionals make terrible decisions systematically, measure activity instead of outcomes, and mistake complexity for sophistication.

You'll recognize these characters immediately:

• The American administrator who hasn't seen a patient in years but speaks fluently in corporate healthcare buzzwords
• The German professor who believes documentation prevents entropy
• The French physician who treats phenomenology as medical science
• The British doctor who apologizes while making everything worse
• The Canadian who forms committees to study committee formation
• And the lone voices of reason who quit in disgust

Perfect for healthcare professionals, administrators, consultants, policy makers, MBA students, and anyone who's survived a "transformation initiative."

What readers are or might be saying:

"This is the healthcare management book they'd never assign in business school because it tells the truth."

"I've been that consultant. I've given those presentations. I feel attacked and I love it."

"Finally someone explains why every healthcare improvement project fails the same way."

"Catch-22 meets healthcare administration. Absolutely brilliant."
