What am I going to do in life? What am I supposed to do? How can I decide what to do when everything looks like a sham? What is this American Dream? Are we not all living our lives on a shoestring? By the time I completed this book I realized the nature of my problem. I rearranged my work to look like an eighteen-hole golf course, and I saw the light. I realized that I was a guitar player living in a golfer's world. We don't understand our leaders because they are golfers, and they are living on a golf course. They don't understand us because we are living on a shoestring. I realized that I was just shooting a bad round. I reformatted my work into a language that the golfer's can understand. I looked at my journey through the American Dream for the last forty years like I was playing a round of golf. As I play the course, I try to stay right in the middle of the fairway, neither hook nor a slice. I try to stay out of the sand traps and avoid the water. Unfortunately, I've had to spend some time in the woods looking for my ball. I hope this book will teach you the attitude that overcomes adversity and an attitude of hope and of humor, because we'll need it. And I hope that I find my ball. See you at the nineteenth hole!

Patient-Focused Care (PFC) can be broadly defined as "the redesign of patient care so that hospital resources and personnel are organized around patients rather than around various specialized departments." This book is organized in four sections. The first section describes the Cedars-Sinai's PFC project in detail. The second section focuses on the hospital-wide organizational systems required to support the patient-focused care models detailed in Section I. Section III moves from the PFC work redesign efforts to Cedars-Sinai's ambitious program to develop clinical practice guidelines and pathways for patient populations throughout the medical center. Section IV provides case studies in the areas of practice guidelines, clinical pathways, and outcomes management.
