With healthcare spending in the United States currently ranking highest in the world, it is safe to say that the time for change is now.

The U.S. healthcare delivery system is likely to be crushed by an increase in costs and a reduction in revenue from all sources. Therefore, the challenges we face are cosmic to miniscule. At some point in the future, the leadership will emerge to make some sense out of this disorganized chaos.”
