Review of Surviving the Business of Healthcare
[Following is a volunteer review of "Surviving the Business of Healthcare" by Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C.]
Barbara Galutia Regis PA-C, in her book "Surviving the 'Business' of Healthcare: Knowledge is Power!" provides an informative personal guide on navigating the complex landscape of modern healthcare. The author has two decades of experience as a physician assistant and a family practice clinician, as a fourth-generation healthcare provider, and as a cancer patient. Barbara's voice is strong due to this combination of authority and empathy. It provides patients and healthcare professionals with priceless insights into the complexities of healthcare.
The book is filled with evidence of Barbara's commitment to empowering healthcare providers and patients. For instance, Barbara's counsel on how to effectively represent yourself or your loved ones in the healthcare system of today is essential and useful. Patient involvement in care is crucial in a system frequently fueled by bureaucracy and profit. Barbara offers motivating and doable tactics for raising the appropriate issues and defending one's health rights.
Barbara also covers how healthcare organizations that are for-profit and insurance firms may lower the standard of care. Being the daughter of a family physician, Barbara uses experiences from her early life to demonstrate this. These experiences show the human connection between physicians and their patients. It appears that this bond has weakened over time as a result of the growing influence of insurance companies and the demands of maintaining successful medical practices.
In terms of editing, the book is well-written and easy to read. The topics covered in the book are choosing a primary care physician, comparison shopping for medication, and planning for catastrophic healthcare costs. The topics are explained in a clear and concise manner that never feels overwhelming.
The book is an essential read for anyone trying to navigate the US healthcare system. For patients, the book is a goldmine of information on how to take control of their healthcare journey. For healthcare providers, the book offers practical advice on how to succeed in an industry that is increasingly focused on profits by maintaining quality care to serve patients.
Barbara wants to empower both patients and healthcare providers with the knowledge they need to thrive in today’s healthcare system. The author succeeds in this goal by offering practical advice, sharing personal stories, and demystifying complex healthcare topics. Barbara's compassionate approach makes this book a valuable resource and an inspiring read for anyone invested in improving their healthcare journey. So, I am rating the book 5 out of 5 stars.
I have given the book a full rating because I don't have any criticism of the book.
