Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
Have you ever imagined being on the other side as the patient and not as a healthcare provider? In the book, the physician assistant (PA) has been a healthcare provider for years. And to some extent, she was diagnosed with amelanotic nodular melanoma. The timing of this diagnosis is surreal to me. The couple had finally started closing a couple of chapters that were quite stressful and continued to hang over their heads financially for years as a result of their partnership in their old practice as healthcare providers.
Surviving the Business of Healthcare by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C is all about a physician assistant who has been a healthcare provider for twenty years, who had a vibrant clinic and patients were getting the care that they deserved, who also had catastrophic health insurance, and who was a huge proponent of health savings account (HSA) plans with a $4,500 deductible and the maximum out-of-pocket expenses of $6,500. She has been a physician for over 20 years, and family practice from cradle to grave is her specialty. Her experiences are worth reading as in it lies useful tips beneficial to our health.
After reading this book, I got to understand that healthcare has changed immensely over the past few generations, including the deeply personal relationships and bond between the provider and patient. The information packed in this book includes how to choose a primary care physician, how to plan for catastrophic healthcare costs, how to choose your primary care provider (PCP), and how to choose healthcare roles and occupations. I liked the very intensive healthcare roles, like "advanced care providers" like "physician assistants" (PAs) and "nurse practitioners" (NPs). Behavioral health professionals like psychiatrists (MDs/DOs), clinical psychologists, counselors, and ancillary providers like physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), speech therapists, respiratory therapists, and registered therapists Nursing Staff like nurses, nursing assistants, medical assistants, phlebotomists, radiology technicians (radiographic), paramedics, and technicians. This book also shows us effective ways of surviving and maintaining the business of health care and other health facilities. Generally, the book's organization and packaging were fascinating.
After reading this book, I have some dislikes about it, which are that the scientific words were not understandable. Aside from that, the book was very inspiring, interesting, informative, educational, and encouraging. I also how well it was edited and it pleased me more that I did not come across any errors while reading.
After reading this book, it was sufficient to rate it 5 out of 5 stars for the reasons that I have stated. This book is an informative and educational one. So I recommend it to those who love to read educational, non-fictional, self-help, and scientific books.
