Shantanu Nundy - Care After Covid

Shantanu was one of the first to advocate for testing and hospitalizing patients at home during the pandemic. From my firsthand experiences working with him, I know Shantanu to be an extraordinary bridge-builder, deeply knowledgeable about medicine, technology, and the needs of patients and caregivers alike. That depth of understanding informs every page of this book, which is required reading for all healthcare decision-makers. Care After Covid shows us the way to a better healthcare future for all.

Few physicians have accomplished as much as Shantanu Nundy to reinvent medicinefrom pioneering improvements in teamwork in operating rooms across the world at the World Health Organization and building the worlds largest open medical project with tens of thousands of doctors to revolutionizing employer healthcare at Accolade. This new book translates Shantanus vision for the future of healthcare into a pragmatic and highly applicable guide for employers, technologists, policymakers, and patients to transform our healthcare system after this terrible pandemic.

The Covid pandemic has challenged us all to reimagine the healthcare of the future. This book makes a compelling case to start in the community and in the home, and with patients themselves. Shantanu has a knack for seeing around the corner and being able to bridge where the system is today to where it needs to be. In this new book, he shares a powerful framework that healthcare leaders globally can use to accelerate progress on health for the worlds most vulnerable.

Dr. Nundys book is a must-read for anybody who has tried to understand how we can take a catastrophe such as the pandemic and our lack of a national response and try and emerge as a stronger nation. His insights are practical yet sophisticated because he brings his clinical instincts, his business acumen, and his heart to each page. There will be a number of books that reflect on 2020 and beyond, but Care After Covid should be at the top everyones reading list.

Too many in healthcare are asking how we can get back to normal, rather than how we can work to use this crisis to create a new, better normal for patients. Nundy asks the right questions to help envision the future we need.

Out of a public health crisis, a healthcare revolution has been born. Dr. Shantanu Nundy, a brilliant, visionary physician innovator, provides a road map to the future of health in the twenty-first century. This landmark book describes how the Covid-19 pandemic revealed stunning inequities and inefficiencies in the US healthcare system which existed for far too long.
