Abstract:
During the past decade, the healthcare industry has seen a marked expansion of networked delivery. The norm is no longer a stand-alone hospital, but an "Integrated Healthcare Delivery System," in which a healthcare provider may offer services from acute care, ambulatory, longterm and home health care.
