Thomas Scully, JD

Former Administrator (CEO), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

“Drs. Brown visited with me at CMS in 2002. I liked their work then, and I like it now.”

“No matter the system of healthcare delivery, value-based medicine provides an extraordinary return on investment. In essence, it gives us an information system that identifies healthcare interventions of the highest quality for the most reasonable cost. By doing so, value-based medicine allows healthcare dollars to be directed to services that return the greatest value.” 

From the Foreword of Brown MM, Brown GC & Sharma S. Evidence-Based to Value-Based Medicine, Chicago, American Medical Association Press, 2005.

“How will research, clinical decision making, patient preferences, quality/quality of life, and medical economics affect your practice and your future? For the answer you must read Evidence-Based to Value-Based Medicine, by Brown, Brown, and Sharma. In fact, this book should be required reading for every practitioner or student about to enter the healthcare industry. The future of Chiropractic is indeed very bright if our profession embraces these important concepts. Knowledge is power…don’t get left behind. READ THIS BOOK!”
