Learn to better meet the needs of the new consumer-driven marketplace.

"Health care organizations are managing at the edge of chaos. The principles and framework provided by this book will help bring structure to current strategic thinking." —John Koster, M.D., vice president, Clinical and Physician Services, Providence Health System, Seattle, Washington

A leader's guide to the new health care marketplace. Strategies for the New Health Care Marketplace, written by a team of acclaimed experts, examines the factors changing today's health care system: 
  • the growth in demand for services

  • the increasing influence of consumers on how services are provided, and

  • the dramatic new advances in treatment made possible by technology. 

Strategies for the New Health Care Marketplace gives health care professionals - executives, physicians, managers, and educators - strategic guidance on better serving patients of the U.S. health care system as it strives to be more responsive and efficient. It identifies and assesses the key strategies a wide variety of health care organizations should consider as they attempt to position themselves for the future.

 

The authors detail the four most likely scenarios to emerge in health care's near future and guide health care leaders in planning for the changes to come. They examine the increasing demand for health care services and the changes in the way health decisions are made, discuss what consumers want out of their health care system, identifying nine value-added characteristics patients now demand. They show how health care organizations can better meet the needs of the new consumer-driven marketplace. And they discuss management and governance issues that will become increasingly important for health care organizations as they prepare for the new health care marketplace.
