Abstract

The US healthcare system faces upheaval ranging from incremental efforts to improve operating efficiencies to more transformational changes to care delivery and payment systems. Interestingly, all major economies confront similar issues: “demand-side” growth for care driven primarily by aging populations and “supply-side” resource constraints from the ever-increasing costs of providing such care. While cultural, historical, and political differences among nations will yield different solutions pertaining to the “correct” allocation and financing of healthcare products and services, leaders across the globe must deal with ever-increasing uncertainty as to the scope and speed of their healthcare systems’ evolutions. What to do? This book will provide healthcare leaders with the tools, processes, and examples/case studies to lead strategic change in their organizations.
