10 Things the Most Progressive Hospitals Do
It's been said that there are three types of people in the world: the retrograde, the stationary and the progressive. The same could be said for organizations, particularly in healthcare.

And that means they need to think about operating more like a software company than just a hospital.

And that’s just to rattle off a fistful...
