Resources About New Performance Models and Innovation Integral to the Changes in Health Care

Some time has passed since the new view of health care emerged. Many hospitals are embracing nontraditional business models and innovative strategies as they seek to overcome obstacles and improve operations in support of their new vision.

For example, as hospitals face new sources of competition and more informed, price-conscious consumers, they’re recognizing the need for greater consumer centricity. In response, they’re adapting processes from retail and other consumer-facing industries to transform patient engagement, care delivery and even their own infrastructure.

AHA Solutions is pleased to offer you helpful resources on the topic of performance models and innovation both from the American Hospital Association and from organizations whose pertinent solutions have earned the exclusive endorsement of the AHA. Please see below.
