| American healthcare has made great strides in the past hundred years. Life expectancy has increased dramatically and advances in medicine and treatments have eradicated many life-threatening diseases. However, in today's healthcare arena there is divergence between our health needs, the structure of our healthcare system, and how healthcare is delivered and funded.
In Forces of Change: New Strategies for the Evolving Health Care Marketplace, David A. Shore has collected the leading thinking from experts in the field on how our healthcare system can benefit from important lessons from other industries and effect transformational change that truly serves all stakeholders well.
Contributors include: Max Caldwell of Towers Watson; Michael J. Dowling of North Shore - Long Island Jewish Medical Health System; John P. Glaser of Siemens Healthcare; Ashish K. Jha of the Harvard School of Public Health; Eric D. Kupferberg of Northeastern University; Lucian Leape of the Harvard School of Public Health; Jeff Margolis of the TriZetto Group, Inc.; and David Shoultz of Philips Electronics.
