Richard L. Reece, MD, editor-in-chief of the Physician Practice Options family of publications has written a new book, “Key Under the Radar Innovations Impacting the Health System” that focuses on 34 innovations that allow physicians to increase their success rates in competitive markets.

Innovations fall into three categories:

• How demanding consumers buy and use health care:
• How technologies increase productivity and practice revenue;
• How doctors can best introduce new business models.

Here is a chapter from Dr. Reece’s book, "Self-Care, Self-Service, and Self-Empowering Consumer Care" describing the consumer-driven movement. You can read on-line or download the PDF.

Please check back for additional chapters in the coming weeks. If you have comments or questions please email Richard Reece, MD rreece@premierhealthcare.com or call 860-395-1501.
