Nick Jacobs - From Healthcare Blogs to Healthcare Books
08/14/2008
Only my friend Nick Jacobs, CEO of Windber Medical Center, would write a book titled Taking The Hell Out of Healthcare - a patient's guide to getting the best healthcare - and put a lovely bouquet of flowers on the cover. Nick Jacobs is no stranger to pushing the envelope. He is a pioneer in healthcare social media. Nick was first CEO of a general hospital/medical center to launch a blog sponsored by his hospital.
Taking The Hell Out of Healhcare is Nick's innovative approach to healthcare that treats the patient as a "person" while looking at a healthcare system that Nick calls broken. The book is a guide " ... on how to get the same treatment as the CEO's family in any hospital, a book on patient advocacy."
