Managing the Delivery of Health Care: What Can Health Care Learn From the Business Community?

J Spinal Disord Tech. 2015 Aug;28(7):254-7. doi: 10.1097/BSD.0000000000000308.

Abstract

The passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in March 2010 has resulted in dramatic changes to the delivery of health care in the United States toward a value-based system. While this is a significant change from the previous model, it presents an opportunity for high-quality health care providers to improve patient outcomes while also increasing revenue. However, those that lack a clear strategy to effectively implement change and communicate the increased value to the patients likely will suffer, regardless of how successful or prestigious they seem today.
