Dr. Halee Fischer-Wright presents a unique prescription for fixing America’s healthcare woes, based on her thirty years of experience as a physician and industry leader. The problem, Fischer-Wright asserts, is that we have lost our focus on strengthening the one thing that has always been at the heart of effective health care: namely, strong relationships between patients and physicians–informed by smart science and enabled by good business–that create the trust necessary to achieve the outcomes we all want.
Drawing from personal stories and examples from popular culture, supported by scientific studies and rock-solid logic, Back to Balance shows how the business and science of medicine are combining to strangle the creative, compassionate, human side of medicine—what Dr. Fischer-Wright calls the art of medicine.
Fischer-Wright will be sharing the stage with interlocutor, Tao Sheng Kwan-Gett, a senior lecturer of health services and adjunct senior lecturer of biomedical infomatics and medical education at the University of Washington’s School of Public Health.
