Title: Best Care Anywhere: Why VA Healthcare Would Work Better for Everyone (third edition)
By: Phillip Longman
Why the Fuss? In this work, Phillip Longman tells the full story of the VA's amazing turnaround. Once a regular source of nationally reported scandals, the VA system is now hailed for its exceptional safety record, its use of evidence-based medicine, its health promotion and wellness programs, and its unparalleled adoption of electronic medical records and other information technologies. And it's the only health-care provider in the United States whose cost per patient has been holding steady as others' skyrocket. Longman suggests that the VA model can be used elsewhere to help fix our failing public system.
