HOW TO HEAL
OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
- 21st century
health care should be patient-centered, collaborative, and interactive.
- A comprehensive
lifelong preventive health care system should be implemented.
- Insurance
models must change. Options such as Medical Savings Accounts should
be implemented (See page 348 of 'Saving the Soul of Medicine'
for more information about Medical Savings Accounts).
- The morale
problem affecting our health care workforce and our health care
professionals must be rectified. Our society must value and respect
the hard work and dedication of our health care professionals.
We can not continue with a health care system which has created
serious shortages of pharmacists, nurses, health care workers
and soon - physicians.
- The Planetree
philosophy of patient-centered hospital care should be implemented
in all hospitals. For more information, visit Planetree.org.
- Medical education
must change. The process needs to evolve into one that will teach
a collaborative patient-centered approach. The essence of the
experience must change from what is too often viewed as an unpleasant,
painful, arduous rite of passage into an experience that is kinder,
gentler and more humane.
