Unaccountable
What Hospitals Won't Tell You and How Transparency Can Revolutionize Health Care
Book • 2012
In 'Unaccountable', Dr. Marty Makary exposes the systemic flaws and lack of transparency in American hospitals.
He argues that the healthcare system is a 'black box' to patients, where doctors and hospitals are unaccountable, leading to unchecked medical errors and poor patient outcomes.
Makary advocates for radical transparency to expose dangerous doctors, reward good performance, and drive positive change using the power of the free market.
The book is based on his extensive experience as a surgeon and his work on patient safety, including the development of the surgery checklist adopted by the World Health Organization.
