Are healthcare leaders ready for the real revolution?

Abstract

The current revolution, that could pass us by if we are not prepared to join it, is a consumer-directed, technologically driven revolution in the way we receive, process, and use information. Today, the knowledge we need--as business owners, healthcare consumers, and informed citizens--is literally in the palm of our hands. The future has arrived and we cannot be late to the dance. Citizen science, integration, and data-driven care will shape our future. Healthcare leaders must be comfortable with complexity and eager to embrace fast-paced, revolutionary changes. We must be prepared to lead in integrated health care environments that harness technology and value data.
