Abstract

A look-back at AAPL’s white paper published in 2014, along with an updated review of the literature, followed by additional interviews with healthcare leaders, confirms that physician leadership has only become more essential for healthcare’s continued journey toward higher quality, consistent safety, streamlined efficiency and for completing the transformation to value-based medicine.
