March 17, 2009: very comprehensive book outlining how health care can change how it conducts its business. business principals are related to health care industry so those with no business background can relate and understand whats being presented. the fact that the book is co authored by 2 md'd gives validity to the claims presented. the only critique is that scholars within the nursing field should have been consulted and their perspective documented seeing how the nursing role will be greatly impacted by the changes that are cited.
