Navigating the Code

How Revolutionary Technology Transforms the Patient-Physician Journey

By: Barry P. Chaiken

Narrated by: James Delhauer

Healthcare, by its nature, is not a particularly innovative endeavor. Unlike autos, which are always changing, there are set, time-tested ways to practice medicine. Yet does that mean physicians must adhere to business and administrative practices and processes that are 50, 70, a hundred years old? Dr. Barry P. Chaiken thinks not. In this he is not alone, to be sure. In proposing a practical solution, he is.

Chaiken, with his experience as a physician and his belief that information technology is the greatest problem-solving tool, has drawn these two endeavors together to solve the greatest medical and business problem of the 21st century. The result: Revolutionary Healthcare Information Technology.

The author's simple, convincing thesis is based on a simple premise: We must open ourselves to change. Once we do so, he explains how this openness can help us out of our longstanding malaise and guide us toward a transformative healthcare experience for both the patient and the physician. With painstaking honesty and practicality, Navigating the Code presents a simple, factual, businesslike approach to solving healthcare's problems. But don't take his word for it: The book presents the views of 18 thought leaders in medicine and healthcare information technology.

A Review of 'Navigating the Code'

Dr. Chaiken, does a fantastic job of explaining of how got where we are today with HIT (Healthcare Information Technology) and offers 'Change Management' recommendations to get to RHIT (Revolutionary Healthcare Information Technology). Additionally, Barry has interviews with thoughts leaders, and I loved the movie references. Shaun
