Hospitals must prepare for the paradigm shifts to managed care. Interview by Donald E. L. Johnson.

Donald E.L. Johnson, publisher and editor of Health Care Strategic Management, discusses the various roles that hospitals and their administrations play in moving a health care organization into an integrated care organization during a period of state and federal health care reform.
