The health care industry has been in the midst of a rapid transition in response to changing trends in reimbursement and patterns of care. The growing emphasis on evidence-based medical practice, continuous quality improvement, clinical and cost- effectiveness, and risk management have led to a sea change in medical practice that has been stressful for clinicians, patients, and administrators. As care becomes more tightly managed, it becomes a challenge for organizations to balance time, money, resources, and clinical outcomes.
