From David Houle and Jonathan Fleece blogging at KevinMD.com: "Why one-third of hospitals will close by 2020."
Why? Because hospitals are expensive, unsafe, "abysmal" at delivering customer care and poorly equiped to compete in the networked, transparent, not-so-distant future.
"One-third of hospitals gone in eight years." Long-time readers of this modest little blog probably aren't surprised. But I'll bet it's caught a few CEOs off guard, especially those fond of saying things like "I don't have to outrun the bear, just the other guys." You know what I mean. You've heard the joke. Except it was never very funny and now, as strategies go, it might be deadly.
