Thedacare Health
Book:
On The Mend by CEO Doctor John Toussaint
- describes how ThedaCare doubled its revenue,
and how this organization became the lowest-price health care provider in Wisconsin.
One typical example: the mortality rate for coronary bypass surgery dropped from 4% a year (12 deaths) to almost zero (one death in 2009).
In addition, the time that the patients stayed in hospital fell (22%) from 6.3 to 4.9 days.
