Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
[Following is a volunteer review of "Surviving the Business of Healthcare" by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C.]
Health for all is a priority in the healthcare industry, regardless of accessibility or financial capacity. Imagine the healthcare industry in the 1970s and 2000s for a moment. You'll undoubtedly notice that technology has advanced significantly since the days of writing down medical notes in books and replacing them with computerized records. Barbara Galutia Regis attempts to provide a thorough understanding of this in her book, Surviving the Business of Healthcare. Since she was young, a lot has changed in her view, and she had the advantage of witnessing that because she comes from a family of healthcare professionals. She provides a checklist for managing an industry that began as a "service for everyone" but is now a multibillion-dollar business industry in recognition of the significant transformation happening in the sector. She has an extensive understanding of what goes on behind the scenes because she is both a cancer patient and a healthcare professional. She is brave to bring up the reality that healthcare professionals no longer care to connect with patients, give them the option of choosing what they prefer, and even take advantage of limiting them to particular retailers they have a relationship with to increase their sales.
I appreciated the author's bravery in discussing what goes on behind the scenes for our loved ones as they receive care from birth to death. It is quite terrible that many people cannot even afford to get basic medical care. It is detrimental to the developing world that the industry has shifted from patient-based care to business-oriented care. Her use of examples from her own upbringing helped to make the book more relevant. What happened to healthcare professionals prioritizing patients and disregarding the fact that the patient is always correct when providing care? She clarifies everything, including facts and advice on selecting insurance policies, which was beneficial. In my opinion, the author's description of this viewpoint as a "third eye" to the industry is accurate. This was both interesting and inspiring.
There's nothing I disliked about this book. The information the author has provided regarding the healthcare industry is all you need to know. She is a strong proponent of health for all, and because of this, she strongly recommends that everyone create an emergency plan. We are unable to predict when we will become ill. Being vigilant is therefore necessary.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. I am unable to deduct a star because the author did a wonderful job. I found no typos or grammatical mistakes while reading through, indicating that the work was exceptionally edited.
I recommend this book to all people who are involved from cradle to grave, including patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and advocates. The author gives a list of careers available in the industry. This will be the best guide for those who are passionate about the field. Everyone can use this knowledge-rich book to get informed about their plans and decisions regarding their healthcare.
