“Over Our Heads: An Analogy on Healthcare, Good Intentions and Unforeseen Consequences” by Rulon F. Stacey, Ph.D., FACHE, (Fire Starter Publishing, 2011; $18.95), uses a neighborhood grocery store as a metaphor to trace the long and complicated history of healthcare policy in America and how it has caused the current healthcare crisis. “While the people who work in this industry are deeply caring and compassionate individuals, they are forced to work within a system that has become so convoluted and complex that it’s nearly impossible to comprehend the roots of the problem or to even keep up with current policy,” says Dr. Stacey, who was selected to be the 77th chairman of the board of governors of the American College of Healthcare Executives in 2011.
