Ducks in a Row: Health Care Reimagined

by Sue Robins

Ducks in a Health Care Reimagined explores how to create a gentler health care experience for patients and staff – one that is rooted in humanity.

Sue Robins reimagines health care based on empathy instead of efficiency. Ducks in a Row offers a refreshing shift from health care’s corporate model back to caring for each other as human beings.

Drawing on the author’s work life in patient and family engagement, Ducks in a Row describes a new health care world that includes storytelling, the arts, outreach and safe spaces for patient feedback.

This practical and engaging book is written for those who rail against the status quo and yearn for authentic change in health care.
