Story
While modern medicine produces miracles, it also delivers care that is too often unsafe, unreliable, unsatisfying, and impossibly expensive. For the past few decades, technology has been touted as the cure for all of healthcare's ills. But medicine stubbornly resisted computerization - until now. Over the past five years, thanks largely to billions of dollars in federal incentives, health care has finally gone digital.

An excellent and understandable review of the current state of the digital revolution in medicine
Reviewed: 02-23-16
Bob Wachter's deep understanding of the subject and insightful prose make this book a must read for those trying to understand or impact the current changes produced by the digital revolution in the healthcare system. Having spent over 25 years as a practicing physician and Informaticist, I can say that this book is accurate and quite complete. It is also suffused with humanism and caring, making it an engaging and entertaining read.

I could barely put this down. The twists and turns of the plot are very engaging. The medical content is accurate and makes the story especially compelling for physicians. The narrator is fabulous.
