“The VOICES of Patients, Hospital CEOs, Health Care Providers, Caregivers and Families: Personal Experience with Critical Care and Invasive Medical Procedures,” uniquely written, explores the concept of “patient-centered medicine,” which puts the patient as the central focus in medicine and health care.

Real-life examples of survival stories from patients who have endured major or critical illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease or liver failure, have one common thread – the patients have an unwavering strength, determination and hope for survival. They deserve the best care possible for the best possible outcome in medical treatment.

The VOICES of Patients, Hospitals CEOs, Health Care Providers, Caregivers and Families: Personal Experience with Critical Care and Invasive Medical Procedures … E: Patient-Centered Medicine Book 1)

• Divided into three parts – Perspectives of Care, Voices of Cancer Survivors and the Voices of Open Heart-Surgery Survivors, the book documents primary research conducted by a team of writers through personal interviews conducted with patients facing major health diagnoses with the support of their families.
• The book also features interviews conducted on the importance of increasing the effort in global health and wellness and developing new medicines and technologies with hospitals CEOs, leading academic research center leaders and pharmaceutical research and development scientists in the U.S. and other countries, including Singapore and Switzerland.
• And lastly, the book provides personal accounts and testimonies of patients written from their perspective; some of those patients are medical doctors diagnosed with cancer, who underwent invasive surgeries.

The book is the brainchild of Aviva Lev-Ari, Ph.D., R.N., Director and Founder of Leaders in Pharmaceutical Business Intelligence (LPBI) Group, and Editor-in Chief of www. pharmaceuticalintelligence.com . The book’s co-editors are Larry H. Bernstein, M.D., F.A.C.P., and Gail S. Thornton, M.A.

Specifically, you can read about articles that:

• Explore the personal account and medical journey of patients of all ages with serious health conditions, such as cancer, heart disease, liver failure, who underwent treatment for multiple diagnoses and subsequent surgeries. They never lost hope, perspective or sense of self as they are the true survivors, along with their families and caregivers.
• Look at hospital CEOs from Singapore to Switzerland to New York who believe an essential component to quality health care is a highly qualified staff and facilities that deliver superb technology.
• Emphasize the methods of scientific discovery and development in academic research institutions and pharmaceutical research and development companies, whose goal is to constantly discover and develop new and better medicines.
• Discuss unique ways of the university research community to address the global health challenge by helping under-developed and under-served populations around the world by improving health and wellness.

Perception of care is determined by a number of important factors that are dependent on the individual, physician, and treatment conditions,” said Drs. Larry Bernstein and Aviva Lev-Ari. “The individual factors include patient social status, linguistic factors, cognitive skills and level of education, and communication skills of the health care providers. The facilities can be a factor not easily ranked, although that is always a matter for debate.
