  Annual Review of Health Care Management: Strategy and Policy Perspectives on Reforming Health Systems

  System wide health reform has become the norm across the globe

  forcing health care delivery organizations to critically examine the ways in which they are structured and operate on a day to day basis. Resource scarcity has become common while at the same time

  quality and clinical outcomes become the basis upon which these organizations are measured and compared with one another. This volume of \"Advances in Health Care Management\" includes contributions from key academic thought leaders from around the world who critically examine how health reform impacts the macro

  meso and micro level strategy and policy decisions of healthcare organizations.

  Annual Review of Health Care Management: Strategy and Policy Perspectives on Reforming Health Systems

  Since the late 1980s

  health systems and health organizations have undergone dramatic changes in organizational structure

  systems

  and processes. These changes included the development of large

  integrated health organizations

  designed to provide scale and scope advantages

  improve the quality of care and health outcomes

  and provide greater bargaining power relative to payers and large employers. These efforts resulted in consolidation and restructuring of health systems and physician-health organizations

  and dramatic changes in relationships and practices between hospitals and physicians as a means of improving financial and clinical outcomes. However

  the scope and nature of this transition has created greater complexity and size in consolidated health systems

  leading to greater interest in both industry and academia about hospitals and health systems as complex systems. Evidence on the effectiveness of these efforts

  however

  has been limited and inconclusive. This volume of Advances in Health Care Management explores the latest theory and research evidence on hospital-physician integration from leading researchers and thought leaders in the field

  and points to important new directions on design and management of these organizations as the health care field evolves through industry restructuring and substantive regulatory change.

  Annual Review of Health Care Management: Revisiting the Evolution of Health Systems Organization

  Hannes Leroy (guest editor)

  Tony Simons (guest editor)

  To lead health care organizations in ways that enable their continued viability in terms of both health and economic outcomes

  health care leaders often feel drawn to take a pragmatic managerial perspective – with its emphasis on day-to-day production pressures and its need to respond to small and large problems. Yet

  this tendency can limit their ability to engage in the visionary leadership activities that may help transform their organizations for the future. For example

  health care workers face an increasing multitude of job demands: patient care but also administration

  cost-efficiency

  optimal staffing

  leading to role ambiguity

  and even role conflict (Katz-Navon

  Naveh

  & Stern

  2009). Facing role conflict

  most people experience stress and may be less effective in both primary and secondary role responsibilities. For this reason

  conflicting role demands increase the importance of leadership as a means of helping managers and providers make thoughtful and consistent choices between competing values (Leroy et al.

  2012).
