“The Cleveland Clinic Way,” published by McGraw Hill Education, is divided into eight chapters and covers Cleveland Clinic’s group practice model, use of electronic health records to track patient outcomes and its focus on wellness rather than “sick care,” according to the report. Dr. Cosgrove says the Cleveland Clinic’s model can and should be mimicked throughout the United States.
There is only mention of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the book, according to the report. Dr. Cosgrove acknowledge what he “has said many times before — that the impact of the healthcare legislation is still largely an unknown, and that hospitals will continue to have to ‘do far more with less,'” according to the report.
