The healthcare industry, unlike many others, runs on time-tested ways to practice excellence in medicine. But does that mean adherence to practices and processes that are fifty, seventy, even a hundred years old? Barry P. Chaiken. MD thinks not. His 25+ years of experience as a physician and an informaticist, he believes information technology is healthcare’s greatest problem-solving tool for resolving the greatest medical and business problems of the 21^st century. The solution: Revolutionary Healthcare Information Technology. The author’s convincing thesis in his book Navigating the Code: How Revolutionary Technology Transforms the Patient-Physician Journey is based on a single premise: we must open ourselves to change. Once we commit, he explains how this openness can help us out of our longstanding malaise and guide us toward a transformative healthcare experience for the patient and the physician. With painstaking honesty and practicality, Navigating the Code presents a simple, factual, businesslike approach to solving healthcare’s problems. But don’t take his word for it: the book presents the views of eighteen thought leaders in medicine and healthcare information technology. Dr. Chaiken delineates the RHIT solution in five Parts:

Part I explains the depth and breadth of healthcare’s problems worldwide, then its issues with technology, change, and business management;

Part II presents RHIT as the essential tool for change management and the transformation that accrues from its implementation;

Part III develops a deeper, more encompassing understanding of change management for creating an integrated workflow for clinicians, patients, and the business;

Part IV explores the application of RHIT and its transformational impact on the Hippocratic Code of quality, access, outcome,s and financial investment by both the patient and the provider; and

Part V draws everything together in two chapters: the marriage of economics and interoperability and the emerging connected, adaptive healthcare organization.
