Remaking health care in America

Academic medical centers, vulnerable populations, rural health. Each represents the fragmentation of the current health care delivery system. Not surprisingly, the challenge of achieving cost-effective integrated delivery raises complex issues for each. These issues are explored in Remaking Health Care in America, based on research by Stephen Shortell, Ph.D., and his colleagues at Northwestern University, in partnership with KPMG's National Health Care & Life Sciences practice and 11 integrated health care systems. Hospitals & Health Networks presents an exclusive preview of the book.
