Chapter 2 in Leading Strategic Change in an Era of Healthcare Transformation, 2016, pp 15-24 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter summarizes the key issues facing all healthcare leaders—how to improve quality, expand access, and manage (ideally lower) costs. Every major healthcare system struggles to balance these, especially restraining costs as technology increases, populations age, and governments seek to expand healthcare access. The theme of this book is that these challenges present healthcare leaders with the need to manage simultaneously for the short-term, while also investigating longer-term, transformational change. In this way, leaders can learn to embrace future uncertainty, not flee from it.
