Recommended by ACHE, this book also reviews what health professionals, healthcare executives, trustees and investors can do to make this transformation happen. "Monumental change in the way healthcare is delivered is fast approaching, and the development of information technology will inarguably play a major role in that change. As information technology becomes more sophisticated, it will reshape how hospitals, physicians, consumers, and payers will interact with one another, sharpening the focus of the entire healthcare delivery system while providing higher quality care.
