450_M5_ Case_Health Care Reform

By now most Americans know that change is coming in health care due to the President’s new plan. We have heard that it will allow more people access to care. However as full implementation draws near, we are now hearing that things aren’t going to go quite as planned. What does that mean for those organizations that will be providing that care? This very topic is discussed in the article entitled:

Kellis, Dana S,M.D., F.A.C.H.E., Rumberger, Jill S,PhD., M.B.A., & Bartels, B., F.A.C.H.E. (2010). Healthcare reform and the hospital industry: What can we expect? Journal of Healthcare Management, 55(4), 283-96; discussion 296-7.
