Health care needs an overarching goal that is shared by all stakeholders, and the one that is emerging is improvement of the value of care from the patients' perspective. This collection of papers from international experts explores the wide range of work that lies ahead, always thoughtfully and often brilliantly.--Thomas H. Lee , Network President, Partners Healthcare System, Boston This impressive series of position pieces is excellent and essential reading for all those seeking to promote patient involvement and improve patient experiences of health care. It brings together leading thinkers, planners, and implementers in the field, and as one would expect from the title is genuinely visionary--challenging patients, clinicians, policy-makers, and journalists to adapt to a rapidly changing world and ways of doing health care.--Adrian G. K. Edwards , Department of Primary Care and Public Health, School of Medicine, Cardiff University
