Hospital, Heal Thyself: One Brilliant Mathematician's Proven Plan for Saving Hospitals, Many Lives, and Billions of Dollars

Part biography and part clear-eyed examination of a healthcare system in crisis, Hospital, Heal Thyself tells the story of enigmatic healthcare visionary Eugene Litvak, whose research and strategies have already been implemented at many top twelve-ranked hospitals to save hundreds of millions of dollars and countless thousands of patient lives. While US healthcare costs continue to skyrocket, Litvak's program described in this book offers tested, effective methods to trim those costs while simultaneously improving patient outcomes.

Written by veteran prize-winning healthcare journalist Mark Taylor, this book includes compelling discussion on how hospital and emergency room overcrowding has harmful and potentially deadly effects on patients and staff; how Litvak's algorithms and complex mathematical theories help hospitals staff appropriately to safely manage patient flow; and how applying Litvak's unique patient flow interventions improves nurse retention in an era of mass nurse exodus.

Distilling complex ideas into accessible language, Hospital, Heal Thyself is a timely, essential listen for all medical practitioners and healthcare administrators and staff who want to play their part in transforming modern healthcare, and the world, for the better.
