Healthcare Strategic Planning (4th Edition) – eBook

The United States healthcare delivery system is undergoing unprecedented transformation. In response to profound and rapid changes in competition, technology, consumerism, laws and other areas, healthcare leaders must help their organizations develop and implement effective strategies to thrive and survive.
