The rate of change in the healthcare industry has been staggering. From Electronic Health Records to ICD-10 to Population Health, few industries have undergone such change in such a short amount of time. The silver lining is the treasure trove of digital data, which will enable providers to analyze and compare information across thousands of patients instead of relying on the anecdotal evidence they previously used. To access this knowledge, organizations are turning to analytics. Unfortunately, many organizations are rushing to implement any type of healthcare analytics program without consideration of the steps that must take place to build an effective, long-term analytics solution. Competing on Healthcare Analytics is a practical guide to implementing population health analytics. The book makes a clear argument for how an analytics initiative should be implemented using Mr. Bennett's foundational approach and identifies the most critical success factors. Healthcare organizations should re-access their approach to implementing population health analytics after reading this book. This book includes: - A detailed healthcare transformation model which tracks the progression of analytics to become an "Analytics Focused" healthcare organization;- A discussion of the value of using the foundational approach;- Research studies performed with healthcare organization participants supporting the approach;- A healthcare organization readiness assessment;- An implementation roadmap with critical success factors;- A discussion on what it takes to be a healthcare analytics competitor.Professor Bennett has been presenting his approach to implementing population health analytics to audiences across the country to rave reviews since the summer of 2014. Now it is your turn to access this knowledge that has been honed through his work in healthcare as well as in other industries with clients such as Microsoft, BellSouth, Chase and many others.

Unfortunately, the skills that made healthcare leaders successful in the past may not be enough to be successful in the future. Managing change requires a very special set of skills. Project management, lean six sigma and other change processes all identify leadership as a key critical success factor.

Drug users are typically portrayed as worthless slackers, burdens on society, and just plain useless—culturally, morally, and economically. By contrast, this book argues that the social construction of some people as useless is in fact extremely useful to other people. Leading medical anthropologists Merrill Singer and J. Bryan Page analyze media representations, drug policy, and underlying social structures to show what industries and social sectors benefit from the criminalization, demonization, and even popular glamorization of addicts. Synthesizing a broad range of key literature and advancing innovative arguments about the social construction of drug users and their role in contemporary society, this book is an important contribution to public health, medical anthropology, popular culture, and related fields.

This historical account concerns the deeds of the most notable members of the Boone and Bryan families, who trace their lineage back to the Medieval-era, later becoming distinguished colonists of New England.The most notable person in this history is Daniel Boone, an explorer who led expeditions westward into Kentucky, founding the first colonial settlement there. He would later serve in the military in the American War of Independence. Rather than focus on Daniel's deeds and achievements, this account seeks to establish the family tree of both the Boone and Bryan families. The lives of various relations, their place of living, and the trades which they practiced, are listed.We learn that the two families' history is shared even going back to the Middle Ages, both clans being Irish with lineages stretching back into the Medieval era of the kings. A history of the Bryans who lived in these far-gone times is also told, showing us how the name was passed down until the time of the migrations to North America commenced in the 17th century.
