Winner of the 2014 ACHE James A. Hamilton Book of the Year Award The changes coming from health reform legislation, cost reduction, work redesign, growth in physician employment, greater consumer involvement, the introduction of ACOs, and the emphasis on value-based purchasing are having a profound and long-term impact on healthcare. Clinical integration is a must, and inclusion of physician leaders is essential for successful clinical integration. For healthcare organizations to maximize their potential during this transition, effective physician leadership is needed more than ever. Unlike other physician leadership books, this is an intensified examination of the development of clinically integrated organizations and the significantly expanded physician leadership role within them. Together Dye and Sokolov evaluate multiple clinically integrated organizations, clinical models, business models, and techniques to involve physicians to a greater degree. They also offer insights and suggestions on the cutting-edge topic of clinical integration and explore in detail the role physician leadership will play in the future. Themes include: Making physicians key stakeholders in the clinical transformation, business modeling, and strategy development Identifying physicians who have a propensity for leadership Understanding the difference between management and leadership Addressing issues physicians face as they make the transition from clinical roles to leadership positions Embracing clinical integration--why this new entity calls for greater physician leadership and how to build a successful clinically integrated organization Learning from case studies and practical approaches Creating leadership development programs with an emphasis on the experiential side of leader development Examining on the significant impact of physician leadership derailment as compared with other leaders

Clinical Integration: Accountable Care and Population Health, Third Edition, provides a fresh set of insights and new information on the evolution of clinically integrated networks (CINs) across the United States (US) healthcare system. The third edition transitions from the original collaborative work of its four original authors to a 14-chapter anthology that provides a refresh on original issues and introduces a number of new topics including patient engagement, care coordination, and behavioral health. All of which are critical to the future growth of CINs. Chapter 8, Coordinating Care- Transforming the Delivery Process, provides fresh insights to the challenges that are unique to care coordination (and distinct from case management). An evidence-based perspective is provided that draws upon healthcare reform issues and the focus of coordinating care to help every CIN work toward achieving the "Triple Aim"-improving the quality of care for the individual and the community's population. The authors illustrate how care coordination is a component of medical management and its effect on population health management.

In the United States, broad study in an array of different disciplines â€"arts, humanities, science, mathematics, engineeringâ€" as well as an in-depth study within a special area of interest, have been defining characteristics of a higher education. But over time, in-depth study in a major discipline has come to dominate the curricula at many institutions. This evolution of the curriculum has been driven, in part, by increasing specialization in the academic disciplines. There is little doubt that disciplinary specialization has helped produce many of the achievement of the past century. Researchers in all academic disciplines have been able to delve more deeply into their areas of expertise, grappling with ever more specialized and fundamental problems. Yet today, many leaders, scholars, parents, and students are asking whether higher education has moved too far from its integrative tradition towards an approach heavily rooted in disciplinary "silos". These "silos" represent what many see as an artificial separation of academic disciplines. This study reflects a growing concern that the approach to higher education that favors disciplinary specialization is poorly calibrated to the challenges and opportunities of our time. The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education examines the evidence behind the assertion that educational programs that mutually integrate learning experiences in the humanities and arts with science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) lead to improved educational and career outcomes for undergraduate and graduate students. It explores evidence regarding the value of integrating more STEMM curricula and labs into the academic programs of students majoring in the humanities and arts and evidence regarding the value of integrating curricula and experiences in the arts and humanities into college and university STEMM education programs.

Integration of complementary and alternative medicine therapies (CAM) with conventional medicine is occurring in hospitals and physicians offices, health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are covering CAM therapies, insurance coverage for CAM is increasing, and integrative medicine centers and clinics are being established, many with close ties to medical schools and teaching hospitals. In determining what care to provide, the goal should be comprehensive care that uses the best scientific evidence available regarding benefits and harm, encourages a focus on healing, recognizes the importance of compassion and caring, emphasizes the centrality of relationship-based care, encourages patients to share in decision making about therapeutic options, and promotes choices in care that can include complementary therapies where appropriate. Numerous approaches to delivering integrative medicine have evolved. Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the United States identifies an urgent need for health systems research that focuses on identifying the elements of these models, the outcomes of care delivered in these models, and whether these models are cost-effective when compared to conventional practice settings. It outlines areas of research in convention and CAM therapies, ways of integrating these therapies, development of curriculum that provides further education to health professionals, and an amendment of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act to improve quality, accurate labeling, research into use of supplements, incentives for privately funded research into their efficacy, and consumer protection against all potential hazards.

This book informs readers of the needs and rationale for the integration of medical and dental care and information with an international perspective as to how and where medical and dental care separated into specific domains. It provide high level guidance on issues involved with care and data integration and how to achieve an integrated model of health care supported by integrated HIT. A patient typically expects that a visit to a dentist can usually be resolved immediately. This expectation places a premium on instant, accurate, thorough, and current information. The state-of-the-art of fully integrated (dental-medical) electronic health record (EHR) is covered and this is contrasted with the current state of dental-medical software. While dentists in the US Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the US Indian Health Service (IHS), or the US military, for example, have access to fully integrated health records, most US clinicians still gather information from separate sources via fax or phone calls. The authors provide an in-depth discussion of the role of informatics and information science in the articulation of medical and dental practices and clinical data with the focus on applied clinical informatics to improve quality of care, practice efficiency, coordination and continuity of care, communication between physicians and dentists and to provide a more comprehensive care for the patients. Lastly, the book examines advances in medical and dental research and how these may affect dentistry in the future. Most new advances in healthcare research are information-intensive.
