Although the healthcare delivery system is as full of committed idealists as it ever was, the difference now is that the current healthcare system operates within an economically and politically driven milieu that prevents it from delivering what it is designed to provide: high-value healthcare services for the patients it serves. The healthcare economy creates major problems with the dominant fee-for-service payment system, enables the treatment of physicians as commodities, and stifles them from realizing their original motivations for choosing a career in medicine. To change this broken system, it is up to physician leaders to identify, treat and ultimately reform problems inherent in the current model.Healthcare Economic Reform serves as both an educational overview of how the healthcare economy operates, and a step-by-step guide for physicians to follow in pursuit of making the delivery of healthcare more satisfying. With an insightful Foreword by Eric Weaver, DHA, MHA, Executive Director of the Institute for Advancing Health Value, this book addresses industry-wide problems and shifts the focus from reform of the delivery system to reform of the healthcare economy. How does this book give you an advantage? Knight shares key lessons gleaned from his 40-year career to not only provide a review of how the healthcare system operates, but also to arm physician leaders with actionable information to reform the healthcare economy and satisfy their own motivations for entering the field of medicine. Here are just some of the topics the author discusses in detail: The Unique Aspects of the Healthcare EconomyBusiness Models in Healthcare The Payment SystemDistortions in the Process of Exchange The Perverse Nature of the FFS Model Clinically Integrated Networks Shifting Risk Pricing in the Healthcare Economy Market Forces in the Healthcare Economy For-Profit vs. Not-for-Profit From Volume to Value Bundled Payments Accountable Care Organizations Correcting Defects in the Healthcare Economy Revealed by the COVID-19 Pandemic Care Process Design Clinical Practice Specific Recommended Actions If you're a physician leader, Healthcare Economic Reform: How and Why Physicians Must Lead Change Within Our Evolving Healthcare Economy will give you deeper understanding of the current healthcare economy, and the tools, wherewithal, and confidence to go about reforming it.
The past never dies. It only evolves. At the age of five, Henry Burl witnessed his mother commit murder right before his very eyes. Fast-forward ten years later, Henry is still traumatized by the fragmented memory of that one horrifying day in the haunted wetlands of Sinclair Leprieur, Louisiana. In order to cope with the past events, Henry finds an escape in music where he is drawn to one particular musician who not only projects a similar sentiment as Henry when he pours his heart out into every song but also embodies the tormented spirit of a true artist exploring the darkest corners of one's self. The enigmatic, provocative, flamboyant, and often controversial musician is Mr. Vortex, the lead singer of the original band, Mr. Vortex and the Flying Pigs. Henry's dreams of being a musician, like his idol, Mr. Vortex, soon trend toward reality when he discovers a rare Jagger saxophone with the initials, H.M., behind the window of a local pawnshop. The saxophone happens to be eerily close to the one that Mr. Vortex plays; however, what Henry doesn't know-at least not until he plays the saxophone for the first time-is that the instrument has unexplainable powers. After another event, which forces Henry's mother to yet again take the law into her own hands, Henry has no other choice than to confront his dark past, as well as the origins of the mysterious saxophone, which Henry will soon learn are much closer to home than he had ever imagined.
In the final volume of the V trilogy, the curse of the Shadow forces a desperate Henry to make a decision that may change his life forever. Is the risk worth the reward? A gripping tale of one young man's journey to discover the American Dream, Fall to Arms takes disturbed rock star, Henry the Fif, down an unexpected path of violence, brutality, and corruption. With a little over a week left until the big New Year's Eve concert in Los Angeles, Henry manages to dodge the police long enough to plan his escape from those who seek to kill him. Just when things couldn't get any worse, T.J., who is the backbone of the hit band, Mona's Arch, is fighting for his life in Lansford Medical Center. As the concert approaches, Henry remains in a constant state of survival either from misleading the police or plotting to murder the ones responsible for his fellow band member's fate. When Henry finds himself outnumbered by the same men involved with putting T.J. in the hospital, as well as accused of a string of murders that stem back to his early childhood, Henry realizes that, like all rock stars, sometimes it's better to burn out rather than fade away.
From the author of The Shadow Player comes a novel about a young woman who will stop at nothing to unlock the truth behind her disturbing past.After being involved in a near fatal car accident while running away from home, Anne Roth can hardly remember anything about her life prior to the accident, which left her with severe memory loss.

Some days, she remembers tiny fragments of a past life: hellish faces as dark as silhouettes, which leave her incapacitated and constrained into a state of medication, and, even worse, with murderous impulses; while most days, her mind is a blank canvas.At twenty-something, Anne finds herself drifting in circles with a tedious cubicle job, neglectful boyfriend, and estranged foster parents until one night she is suddenly thrown back into the vicious life that she left behind so many years ago. Now, on the run from an elite group of assassins, Anne will soon learn that the only way to survive is to remember her past.Contributing Editor Renny Jacobson of Flashback magazine is in desperate need of a story for next month's issue.
