Dead wrong : diagnosing and treating healthcare's misinformation illness  Cover Image Book Book

Dead wrong : diagnosing and treating healthcare's misinformation illness / Dr. Geeta Nayyar, MD, MBA, with Tom Castles and Jack Murtha.

Summary:

"Dead Wrong is a map spanning the broken information ecosystem and healthcare organizations' path to progress. Readers will gain an understanding of the challenges, strategies to fight for the truth as an individual and from within a healthcare organization, and invaluable lessons from real- world stories. Unlike books that examine the problem from the ivory tower, Dead Wrong uses a physician's firsthand insights, interviews with healthcare leaders on the frontlines of the COVID fight, and academic research to deliver accessible information through captivating storytelling. It's a story designed to empower everyone--from healthcare administrators and clinicians to technologists and information advocates--to understand our predicament and to take steps toward restoring truth. Because we have already endured too many consequences of inaction"-- Provided by publisher.
