Reviews
The arguments for integrated delivery systems, shared decision making, informed patient choice, and investment in comparative effectiveness research, as set out by Wennberg in this book, should be compulsory reading for policy makers and healthcare leaders. In putting forward these arguments he throws down the gauntlet to the medical profession to act on evidence of variation or else have others who are less well qualified do so instead. * British Medical Journal *
There are many books on healthcare reform, health delivery, or systems research, but none that combine the science with practical experience like this one does * Northeastern University Bouve College of Health Sciences *
