Linking reengineering to revitalization

A health care organization that embarks on reengineering without a strategy for revitalizing is courting disaster. What does it take to get reengineering right? It takes vision, unflinching commitment, new kinds of leadership and business strategies, and new behaviors to challenge the old manager-physician power dynamic. A low-cost health care provider must be able to promote trust, partnerships, and competencies that are specifically linked to accessible, cost-effective patient care.
