Mobile Medicine Overcoming People, Culture, and Governance

No topic in healthcare technology is more urgent and yet more elusive to date than mobile computing in medicine. It adheres to no boundaries, stagnates in silos, and demands not just the attention of dedicated professionals, but also teams of teams.
"The healthcare industry is undergoing a transformation of exponential change and opportunity that bears daunting challenges. To incorporate groundbreaking technologies, we as leaders are building our people, skills, cultures, and leadership to capitalize on and refine those technologies to address the urgent needs of today and tomorrow. This timely work is written by a world-class multi-disciplinary team in Healthcare IT, medicine, and business. This breadth and collaboration is what's required to deliver this very timely cross-functional discussion and fantastic action planning resource. This book is required reading for any organization looking to lead the next wave of healthcare technology to improve care quality, patient safety, and clinician satisfaction to help us save more lives and keep people healthy across the entire care continuum." - Aaron Miri, Chief Information Officer for Dell Medical School and UT Health Austin & Co-Chair for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Federal Health IT Advisory Committee
"New technologies can improve healthcare, but not without improved leadership and organization. The authors of Mobile Medicine: Overcoming People, Culture & Governance, a multi-disciplinary team of practitioners and users of Health IT together with researchers make a significant contribution by applying lessons from the latest technology challenges: mobility, privacy, and security that can best be addressed by developing the kind of learning organization and leadership my colleagues and I describe in our book Transforming Health Care Leadership, A Systems Guide to Improve Patient Care, Decrease Costs, and Improve Population Health." - Michael Maccoby, PhD, President, The Maccoby Group, Washington D.C.
