Transition to 21st Century Healthcare

This book explains why the fundamental structures of 20th century American healthcare failed to keep pace with American industry in terms of quality and cost and how this has led to the introduction of industrial mass production concepts and techniques in American healthcare. After building a historical foundation, the book describes the role of industrialized quality in the breakdown of 20th century assumptions and supplies clear guidance on traversing the ten transitions arising from the breakdown that form the foundation for 21st century healthcare.
