Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
Surviving the Business of Healthcare written by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C is a comprehensive guidebook that elaborately explores the often complicated and perplexing industry of healthcare. In a world where health care equals high expenses, the book suggests ways to make it accessible for the average person. The book covers an exhaustive list of issues like finance, negotiation of contracts, insurance systems, marketing, leadership, risk management, and overall healthcare administration. The book consists of chapters, each dealing with a particular concept in detail. The author has vast experience as a physician assistant and healthcare administrator, and her writing benefits from it. She offers practical advice and strategies for healthcare professionals at all stages of their careers. It is a must-read book for those wanting to thrive in the ever-evolving world of healthcare.
The factor I most appreciated in this book is the author’s knack for breaking down complex terminologies related to healthcare and presenting them concisely and understandably. Even as a layperson, the book doesn’t put you off with heavy language. Instead, it welcomes you in a safe space where individuals can learn and grow. It familiarizes the reader with the nuances of the healthcare industry. Navigating through the book becomes easy because of its well-organized structure. Another feature I liked about this book, in particular, is that, unlike most business books that only highlight the hustle culture, this book also emphasizes the significance of a work-life balance. I also liked that the author has not stuck to merely theoretical suggestions. The tips given in this book can be realized in real-life situations.
Although the book is well written and is an excellent resource for healthcare professionals, it may not be the most engaging read for the general audience. It is slightly narrow in its approach that would appeal only to a certain set of people. However, this does not take away from the fact that this book is a gem to patients and healthcare providers everywhere.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. It provides a wealth of genuine information and constructive advice on health care. It is precise and easy to read. It also appears to have been edited professionally.
I recommend this book to anyone working or wanting to work in the healthcare industry. It serves as an eye-opener for those interested in pursuing a career in the business side of this profession. From clinicians, entrepreneurs, administrators, and students to healthcare institutions and organizations – all would benefit from reading this.
