title: Real-time management of IT.
abstract: The ability to successfully manage information technology-driven transformations of work processes into value--which has always been a critical requirement yet often a huge disappointment--is now becoming a main ingredient of success in all industries, including healthcare. This article prescribes management dimensions that healthcare leaders should focus on to improve their ability to manage and derive value from the re-invented work flow, especially the highly visible opportunities offered by e-commerce and the consumer movement.
