Against All Odds - How to Move from Provider-Centered Care to Patient-Centered Care (Paperback)

One family's path to navigating a serious health challenge - full of inspiration and practical advice for your family. When their mother faced a serious health challenge, the Tarantine family discovered that the U.S. health care system is broken - and even dangerous. Over a 30-month period, the Tarantines navigated multiple facilities and systems, determined to give their mother care that suited her needs rather than those of the providers. In this book, Ruth's daughter (also Ruth) shares practical lessons for your journey toward health care that meets your needs and provides the highest quality of life along the way. You'll learn the following: * The single action any family can take to ensure better care. * Tips to organize information to reduce medical errors. * How to understand and insist on patient-centered care. * Keys to effectively persuade providers and insurance companies. * Steps to care for yourself while caring for a loved one.
