Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich’s latest book, Saving Lives & Saving Money, examines America’s healthcare issues, with special emphasis on technology.

The book identifies principles for transforming healthcare delivery where the focus is on the individual at the center of care. The book offers a glimpse into actual organizations and the types of technology being used to save lives. Danville Regional Medical Center is specifically named for integrating information technology into improved patient care.

“We were pleased to be recognized by Mr. Gingrich,” said David Cartwright, CPHIMS, Director of Management Information Systems at DRHS. “The book is filled with examples of success stories, and our inclusion is a validation that our emphasis on technology puts us at the forefront of leading healthcare organizations in the U.S.”
