title: Science and technology: new drivers in health care.
abstract: During the next year, Healthcare Leadership and Management Report will intensify its coverage of the use of science and technology to improve readiness, and financial and operational performance in hospitals and health systems. We will do this through a series of case studies from organizations that have had success in implementing programs that exploit technology, explaining the nuts and bolts of how the success was achieved. Look for a regular science and technology column beginning in January.--Lee Reeder, editor.
