Abstract

Yurkiewicz is working against the grain of American health care, in which patients are assumed to be consumers, not managers of it. One patient shows up at Yurkiewicz's office with a set of color-coded binders, supplying the details of her medical history that kept getting lost between doctors. One in four Americans does not have a primary-care doctor, and even those who have seen one, may find that the doctor lacks the context or time needed to help manage complex care. air-traffic controllers has been papered over with mandatory overtime and maddening shift schedules.
