Abstract
The newest health care trend involves changing the core business--health care delivery and the resources involved--through better care management. This impacts every practitioner all day, every day. This issue truly belongs to the physicians, and thus to physician executives. Care management is the latest frontier, the place where the delivery of quality care, in the most efficient way, at the best possible cost, all come together. And physician executives are being challenged to make it happen, to change the way medicine is practiced and health care is delivered across the country, to move from treating episodes of care to a true preventive mindset and population-based methodologies. This column outlines the skills in care management that systems-based physician executives will need to develop or enhance to remain competitive--effective communication skills and team-building capabilities are critical attributes for those who hope for success.
