The current healthcare system was largely the brainchild of business professionals, rather than the medical workers in the trenches. In this video, HealthMaker Deborah German, MD, talks about why this has caused problems with the industry.
As these changes were taking place, that the real problem with health care was that the care providers, the physicians and the nurses were really not at the table where the administrative and business decisions about medicine were being made. And so the people making those decisions didn't really understand how the things they put in place were going to affect the actual practice of medicine.
