New Rochelle, NY, April 6, 2017--"President Donald Trump has a unique opportunity to fundamentally disrupt a fragmented, expensive, inequitable, and illogical healthcare system by making a 'deal' that puts patients first," states Stephen K. Klasko, MD, MBA, Editor-in-Chief Healthcare Transformation and President and CEO, Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health (Philadelphia, PA), in the insightful article entitled "Disruption: It's So Much More than Access," published in the peer-reviewed, open access journal Healthcare Transformation, from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available open access on the Healthcare Transformation website.
"The time for political rhetoric is past," says Dr. Klasko. "It is time for meaningful action." While the Obama Administration's Affordable Care Act (ACA) "did what it intended to: increase access. But we have in no way disrupted the system enough to break the iron triangle of access, quality, and cost."
Dr. Klasko urges President Trump to embrace change and he offers 12 recommendations as part of a manifesto that can bring about true transformation.
