title: Vision and strategy for ubiquitous health care: the end of business as we know it.
abstract: Health services and the clinical enterprise have entered a new era involving an increasing amount of economic, service and research activity across rather than within the boundaries of traditionally defined organizations. These new inter-organizational arrangements present unprecedented challenges and opportunities. How they are designed and managed will have profound consequences on the quality, safety and cost of health care. Building on knowledge gained from ongoing activities within health services as well as other sectors, but recognizing the unique challenges in the provision of health care, guidelines are presented that may be of benefit to those involved in emerging partnerships, networks and alliances.
