Health care is one of the most complex and difficult enterprises on the planet and in the first part of the 21st Century the speed of change and turbulence has reached an all-time high. Successful health care organizations will anticipate and prepare for these changes.

• Quality scorecards which gauge hospital and physician performance coupled with financial incentives
