Reviews

Cutler has an exceptional ability to tackle an extremely complex topic, such as US health care spending, and make it simple and understandable for noneconomists while remaining true to the theory and science... The Quality Cure should be required reading for those who manage or provide care. In particular, medical students and residents need to understand the ideas in this compelling book. Until now, health care has not had such a simultaneously scholarly and accessible book. Those seasoned in policy making will benefit from Cutler's insider look, his clear and concise way of communicating complex topics, and the detailed references and figures. Those new to the policy efforts around reducing costs and improving quality will also benefit from Cutler's simplified conceptual framework, his clear and compelling language, and his disciplined approach... Cutler's experience, scholarship, and practical wisdom lay out a clear theory of change and policy recommendations for achieving it. -- Peter J. Pronovost Health Affairs 20140801
