RESUMO
The market forces pushing health care to evolve from volume to value are intensifying. At the same time, the culture change, capabilities, assets, methods, and mindset required to redefine the health care paradigm are staggering. Unlike corporate initiatives, we simply can't get there thinking quarter to quarter. But we will get there.

Zachary Hafner: "For the December 2017 issue of Managed Care, I wrote a piece titled, 'Better for Patients, or Better for Business-Do We Really Have To Choose'?

A trend that is likely to continue in 2018 is the rise of consumerism and expansion of the consumer-driven marketplace. But investing in this is pricey and in an era of shrinking margins is "better for patients" always "better for business?" The Advisory Board's Zachary Hafner answers with a resounding "yes!"
