Patient No Longer: How YOU Can Lead the Consumer Revolution in Healthcare, Second Edition
The future of healthcare is here—are you ready to lead the change?
In this groundbreaking follow-up to the first edition, Patient No Longer: How YOU Can Lead the Consumer Revolution in Healthcare delves into the next phase of healthcare's evolution: consumer-centric care.
Authors Ryan Donohue and Dr. Stephen K. Klasko challenge the status quo and explore how we can build a truly consumer-driven healthcare system—one that is data informed, compassionate, and ultimately meaningful for patients—by answering a critical question: What can we do right now to transform our healthcare model into one that puts consumers at the center of the experience?
Drawing on new research and real-world case studies, the book analyzes the long-term effects of COVID-19 on healthcare, revealing how the pandemic accelerated the shift toward patient-centered care. It revisits the pioneering vision of Harvey Picker, who cofounded an institute to promote patient-centered healthcare in 1986. The book offers a fresh look at the progress—and the work yet to be done—in achieving a system in which providers partner with patients to create healthier communities.
Patient No Longer is not just a reflection on past efforts but also a roadmap for healthcare leaders looking to thrive in a new, business-to-consumer landscape. With actionable insights, real-life examples, and a forward-thinking framework, the book equips organizations to deliver the compassionate, human-centered care patients deserve.
