Tacking a label of "healthcare leader" onto your CEO moniker doesn't mean you know anything about healthcare except how to make more money by manipulating how and when care is delivered to patients. Evidence-based medicine fits some patients but not others. Patient-centered care is an empty buracratic phrase the PR people use to try to cover up the very lack of patient-centered care. Physicians know what patient-centered care is, but the healthcare moneymakers have been making it more and more impossible for physicians to provide that patient-centered care. We don't need any more PR labels for something that doesn't exist because insurance, BigPharma, and big business medicine have made patient-centered care impossible. I find myself repeating over and over again "let doctors be doctors."
