The healthcare industry is rife with opportunity for radical redesign to enhance quality and lower costs dramatically, while also expanding patient accessibility to that improved care substantially, Jim Champy and Dr. Harry Greenspun say in REENGINEERING HEALTH CARE: A Manifesto for Radically Rethinking Health Care Delivery (http://www.reengineeringhealthcare.com). In their new book, the authors apply the revolutionary methodology Champy pioneered, reengineering, to the outdated, overly complex healthcare system. Inefficient and ineffective healthcare takes its toll in human lives while also devouring our personal and national wealth and resources, they say. While we™ve made amazing progress in the diagnosis and treatment of illness and disease over the past 50 years, not enough has changed in the processes of delivering healthcare.

REENGINEERING HEALTH CARE provides a roadmap for physician practices, hospitals, and entire health systems to deliver better care to more people at a lower cost. Profiling innovative and visionary leaders who have successfully reengineered organizations across the entire delivery spectrum, the authors show that by focusing on three main pillars, technology, processes, and people, reengineering can

improve the entire system in a way that government can™t.

Champy and Greenspun have produced a straightforward guide on how to transform healthcare with the resulting opportunity to maximize quality, safety, convenience, and positively impact the cost of delivery, says H. Stephen Lieber, CAE, President & CEO, HIMSS. No one can read this book and not feel a profound call to action.
