Discover Health Systems - Health Systems Blogger: How Knowledge-Sharing and Patient-Centered Care Could Improve US Healthcare
Addressing misalignments to improve the US health care system by integrating patient-centred care, patient-centred real-world data, and knowledge-sharing: a review and approaches to system alignment (this opens in a new tab) - Douglas S. Levine & Douglas A. Drossman
Despite many strengths, the US healthcare system has shortcomings, including unequal access to care, inconsistent quality, high costs, and dissatisfaction. In a recent paper, Levine and Drossman explored misalignments contributing to poorer health outcomes and increased costs in the US compared to peer countries. Their paper models the healthcare system as two parts: patient-provider relationships, and stakeholders.
