In the past 50 years the development of a wide range of medical devices has improved the quality of people's lives and revolutionized the prevention and treatment of disease, but it also has contributed to the high cost of health care. Issues that shape the invention of new medical devices and affect their introduction and use are explored in this volume. The authors examine the role of federal support, the decision-making process behind private funding, the need for reforms in regulation and product liability, the effects of the medical payment system, and other critical topics relevant to the development of new devices.

In today's world, the necessity is growing out. The Covid 19 has turned the innovation in hospitals into a need of time. But the basic question is, are we really up to the mark to modernize and digitalize the hospitals through available technology, manpower to build required infrastructure? Are we ready to accept this challenge? Do we have the required knowledge to transform our basic health care resources?From the name of the book " Smart Hospital", you can guess the hidden treasure you are going to discover in this book at the right time irrespective of your role within the health sector. The book, Smart Hospitals: Technology, Talents, and Transformation, by V.M Pala is going to be one of the best possible and practical steps towards modernizing our healthcare system, especially the hospitals to fulfill the standards of future minimum requirements including Patient centricity.This book is based on three "T" which are a baseline for this book. The author has emphasized these three "T"s. "Technology, Talents and Transformation"; these are the three basic MUST-HAVES which the author thinks is going to be a front line for creating and running a full-fledged hospital.Describing the concept of Smart Hospitals, and thinking about the new era of Digital & AI technology, the author thinks about introducing digitalization and introducing modern techniques in hospital including; modern nursing techniques, modern technologies in surgeries and operating patients, also using modern techniques in managing the healing as well as the data generated from the patients on daily basis. But the author's thoughts are not only limited to it. He has also mentioned in his book about the upgrading of the health care management system, which is a strong need of timekeeping in view of the current efficiency of the health care systems and standards around the world after the wave of COVID 19.The author has also shared the Advanced concepts of introducing block chain Technology in the Smart Hospitals, which are going to revolutionizing the era of medical terms and system transparency. Though these are some of the things which the author has deeply discussed in his book, you would find much more innovative thoughts in this timely publication. This book is going to a game-changer. I would recommend all the involved Staff, including hospital leaders, technologists, and a common man, to have a basic understanding, to read the book, and to spread the thoughts for our health benefits.

Can refocusing conversations between doctors and their patients lead to better health? Despite modern medicine’s infatuation with high-tech gadgetry, the single most powerful diagnostic tool is the doctor-patient conversation, which can uncover the lion’s share of illnesses. However, what patients say and what doctors hear are often two vastly different things. Patients, anxious to convey their symptoms, feel an urgency to “make their case” to their doctors. Doctors, under pressure to be efficient, multitask while patients speak and often miss the key elements. Add in stereotypes, unconscious bias, conflicting agendas, and fear of lawsuits and the risk of misdiagnosis and medical errors multiplies dangerously. Though the gulf between what patients say and what doctors hear is often wide, Dr. Danielle Ofri proves that it doesn’t have to be. Through the powerfully resonant human stories that Dr. Ofri’s writing is renowned for, she explores the high-stakes world of doctor-patient communication that we all must navigate. Reporting on the latest research studies and interviewing scholars, doctors, and patients, Dr. Ofri reveals how better communication can lead to better health for all of us.

New York Times bestseller Business Book of the Year--Association of Business Journalists From the New York Times bestselling author comes an eye-opening, urgent look at America's broken health care system--and the people who are saving it--now with a new Afterword by the author. "A must-read for every American." --Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief, FORBES One in five Americans now has medical debt in collections and rising health care costs today threaten every small business in America. Dr. Makary, one of the nation's leading health care experts, travels across America and details why health care has become a bubble. Drawing from on-the-ground stories, his research, and his own experience, The Price We Pay paints a vivid picture of the business of medicine and its elusive money games in need of a serious shake-up. Dr. Makary shows how so much of health care spending goes to things that have nothing to do with health and what you can do about it. Dr. Makary challenges the medical establishment to remember medicine's noble heritage of caring for people when they are vulnerable. The Price We Pay offers a road map for everyday Americans and business leaders to get a better deal on their health care, and profiles the disruptors who are innovating medical care. The movement to restore medicine to its mission, Makary argues, is alive and well--a mission that can rebuild the public trust and save our country from the crushing cost of health care.
