Leadership of Healthcare Organizations

"I see a future in
which healthcare organizations thrive or fail on their ability to continuously improve clinical care processes and deliver consistently good patient outcomes, cost effectiveness, and error-free care. That is the newly emerging competitive arena, and in it managers and clinicians must take the field together."
-Richard A. Norling, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Premier, Inc., San Diego, CA
