The leadership perspective
Article Abstract:
Five healthcare CEOs discuss trends in the industry. It is up to doctors and hospitals to work together, or insurance companies will have total control of healthcare. The CEOs believe that mergers and partnerships should be approached from a systematic point of view, rather than costs and only costs. A systematic approach can increase efficiency, which in turn reduces costs. Information systems are seen as vital to health care, but debate still exists over the benefits of individual institutions creating systems versus the cost benefits of area-wide information systems.

The storm before the qualm
Article Abstract:
Health industry executives must be ready to deal constructively with employee resistance if they are to successfully negotiate organizational change in a an industry that is evolving at a rapid rate. The primordial step in dealing constructively with such resistance is for industry leaders to internalize it so as to be able to better understand and act on it. Out of this introspection arises the capacity to derive points of mutual agreement which make it possible to overcome resistance and turn it into a basis for agreement and trust.

Eye on the elderly: medical group aims to keep seniors out of hospitals - and on their own
Article Abstract:
Brown & Toland of San Francisco, CA has launched a program that seeks to keep seniors out of hospitals and on their own. The program arose out of doubts about the efficacy of case management and allows trained doctor's office staffers to look for often subtle signs that an elderly patient may need an extra help. It is also designed to encourage the patients to tell healthcare providers if daily activities become too much.
