In my continuing experiments with getting the message out about the Decision Tree book through all available means and media, I came up with this short video that tries to convey the main challenge facing individuals and their healthcare, and the opportunity that a decision-tree approach offers (engagement improves outcomes).

I was ably aided by my friend David Knowles, a gifted writer and musician who contributed the soundtrack. My thanks to him. Frequent readers of this blog will no doubt be familiar with the ideas, but my hope is that the video may have some potential to engage a broader audience (so link to the video – it’s on Youtube here – and help spread the word!). As the video makes clear, we indeed face in a health crisis in the US (not just a healthcare crisis), and making people aware of the problem and the potential for them to work towards the solution is essential to moving the needle back towards better public health.

Also should say that MP3 podcasts of the Introduction and Chapter 1 are up and available. Enjoy!
