 | Chaos and Organization in Health Care Subjects: Medical care -- United States; Health care reform -- United States; Health facilities -- United States -- Administration; Chaotic behavior in systems; Organizational behavior; This pair of M.D.s build the case for fixing the nation's fragmented health-care system with a lot of high-tech grease and a change in attitude. Long on statistics and occasional medical-business speak, but still readable, the pair from Partners Healthcare System in Boston (Lee is network president, Morgan is CEO) declare the fix is simple-"tight organizational structures," with salaried physicians, electronic medical records, doctors working in teams: in short, a system like Cleveland Clinic's, highlighted by President Obama. But given the current congressional infighting, the good doctors' dream may be doomed. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved |
