title: Transition to a new future. An expert lays out strategies for a redesigned system.
abstract: Making the shift from today's fragmented health care system to the post-reform system of the future will require a shift in thinking and planning. As the author explains, transitional planning provides a new model for health care executives, one based on the assumption of collaboration rather than competition, and one that anticipates the very different demands of the future.
