This volume is complementary to Volume 1: Quantitative
Approaches in Health Systems Engineering which
provides in-depth analysis of the statistical and quantitative
aspects of Health Systems Engineering. Volume 2: Practical
Applications to Engage and Align Providers and Consumers builds
upon these concepts with the integration of additional economic,
performance and quality measures. Stressing the importance of
changes in the economics of health care financing, it will serve as
a resource for not only leaders of organizations, but also
providers who will be practicing a different type of medicine from
that of which they were trained. After defining the challenges, the
authors will quantify and define funds flows and various margins
necessary for viability, how providers will be measured and
rewarded for quality, and the importance of accurate dashboard of
physician performance. Types of payment systems, including
capitation, ACOs, risk contracts, and hybrid forms of fee for
service will be defined and their relative advantages discussed.
Lessons from other countries that provide high quality care at a
lower cost will be examined for applicability to our challenges.
Finally, experts in leadership will focus on influencing behavior
to achieve results while remembering that healthcare is about the
patient. This textbook will serve as a useful resource for
clinicians, healthcare executives, governmental agencies, and
emerging leaders in organizations.
