Knowledge Coupling discusses the premises upon which the coupling of knowledge to every action is based in the practice of medicine, as well as why these premises must change. In concrete terms, the volume explores the methods of structuring and using medical knowledge and medical records that enables implementation of new premises; it sets forth a specific approach to use of the computer. The work examines the new roles and skills that will be demanded of both patients and health care providers within the system based on these new premises. The author takes into account the broad implications of his philosophy for the social, economic, educational, and political structuring of the health care system.

History will consider Knowledge Coupling one of the most important medical books of the 20th century. In it Dr. LL Weed identifies the causes of our present medical delivery system fiscal and quality crisis. The central cause identified is the flawed medical decision making process resulting from the human mind's inability to manage the complexity and quantity of medical science and to integrate the available knowledge with the patient's problems. Dr. Weed offers both philosophy and science to the reader so the system's problems may be understood. He offers a solution that may be the only way out of our present medical care crisis and could provide a major strategy for reducing America's present fiscal crisis. This is a must read for all medical students, educators and politicians. President Obama and his entire cabinet need to read this book before they take the country too far down the path of an attempted fiscal solution.
