20th anniversary. Celebrating the past, looking to the future

This special section marks the 20th anniversary of Crain Communications' ownership of Modern Healthcare. On the following pages, the staff of Modern Healthcare examines the three most important developments of the past two decades (p. 44) and then reviews in detail the news events, trends and people that shaped each year (pages 46-84). A compilation of some of the best work of editorial cartoonist Roger Schillerstrom can be found on p. 86. Finally, with the help of healthcare futurists, we'll take a peek at the next 20 years of healthcare (pages 92-96) as this most changeable of industries undergoes ever more profound transformations.
