The purpose of this book is to offer health system board members an actionable, concise guide on their role as well as provide updates on key changes in health care delivery, including evidence and contemporary examples.The goal is for any board member to have an opportunity to not only be literate in healthcare, but to be supportive and engaged in the transformation of their organization and the industry towards improving health. Hospital and Health system board members, regardless of their experience and expertise, are challenged with keeping pace with healthcare performance and strategy. Surveys continue to show that this is not their comfort level, given healthcare complexity and the rate of recent change and targets for transformation. The aim of this book is to keep the guide concise so that all board members can become fairly literate on the major issues, with an emphasis on recent updates in healthcare, for today and the future.This is an ideal book for new board members for their orientation to the Board and for all board members to use to have a knowledge base and a set of questions to facilitate their engagement on these important issues. Much has changed since the initial printing of Healthcare Transformation in 2009, and this 2nd edition provides updated resources and more contemporary examples and lessons for both new and seasoned board members. This edition updates all chapters and provides 3 new transformers/chapters to consider.
