Book Description

Feelin’ Alright leverages the emotional power of song lyrics to inspire healthcare executives to envision and build a more accessible, high-quality, and equitable healthcare system. Using music as a metaphor, author Stephen Klasko encourages readers to examine what is problematic in the existing healthcare model and to take tangible steps toward a more consumer-centered healthcare experience.

Dr. Klasko shares his experiences as a physician, a health system CEO, a university president, and dean, and now bridging the gap between academic health systems and digital health innovators and entrepreneurs. Each chapter features his multifaceted perspective and is anchored with a song that reflects the chapter’s central themes.

Topics explored include the following:
  • The power of partnerships between healthcare providers and technology companies
  • Why consumers are starting to rebel against traditional healthcare
  • How technology can be used to transform healthcare through consumer empowerment
  • Why value-based payment will—and should—become the norm
  • How medical education must evolve to prepare physicians for paradigm shifts
  • What radical changes are needed to decrease health inequity
  • The emerging technologies that address social determinants of health
Infused with the passion inherent in music, Feelin’ Alright will motivate healthcare executives to take the lead in building a better healthcare system.
