HealthCare Policy that's Practical, Pragmatic and Possible

Simply the most lucid and positive look at the health care system written in the past 10 years. Dr. Crooks takes takes a different view of Health Care Policy---and suggests a breathtakingly straightforward approach to re-thinking the roles we all play in the system. Forget the elaborate schemes that mis-align objectives in our system today.....forget being at odds with your physician or insuror or employer or employee. Take the time to read this and think about how you could make a difference if you only incorporated one of Dr. Crooks ideas into your life or your work. You will never think about health care in the same way again.

A Masterpiece for Generations to Come

One of the best books ever written about health care is Creating Covenants: Healing Health Care in the New Millennium.Dr. Crooks masterfully gives the reader insights, unlike any other healthcare professional, into the root causes of the challenges the health care industry is facing today. If we all followed her wisdom and deep respect for the covenant between healer and patient, we as a society would leave a legacy of caring and great integrity for countless future generations.

The must read for any health care professional.

Dr. Crooks takes a dynamic look at the relationship between patient and caregiver; how the sacred covenant between the two has been broken and what can be done to mend it and our struggling US health care system. I consider this book a must read for any health care professional from practicing physician to product manager. Building relationships is important in any industry, but within health care, without a strong patient-caregiver bond all other efforts to improve our system will not succeed.
