In the caseof clinical integration, the limitations come from the vagaries ofphysician culture and the lack of a unified information system.Tonges and her colleagues in their new book provide us with all thenecessary enzymes to speed this rate limiting reaction along. Mostintegrated delivery systems want us to believe that they haveovercome these limitations and created a clinically integratedenterprise. The contributors to this volume know what a canard thisis, and the distillation of their observations, insights, advice,and case studies will help even the most incredulous physicianbelieve in clinical integration. The vocabulary may be foreign atfirst, but the chemical reaction when complete, will provide bothheat and light.\" --David B. Nash, associate dean and director,Health Policy and Clinical Outcomes, Thomas Jefferson UniversityHospital MARY TONGES is senior vice president of nursing and patient services at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and a national and international consultant with the Center for Case Management. Clinical Integration is a ground-breaking book that outlines successful approaches to achieving clinical integration and narrowing the gap between those who provide patient care services and those who design health systems.Written by clinicians, executives, and managers who have implemented integrated delivery systems within health care organizations, Clinical Integration is filled with practical strategies and illustrative case examples that can be used to make integration a reality. The book offers guidance for implementing field-tested mechanisms, such as systemwide information systems, clinical paths, case management, process improvement, and outcomes management. It outlines methods that foster and strengthen clinical integration and details how to? Create information systems that can support care coordination and management across delivery sites? Implement a CareMap system that will create more clinical standardization and more coordinated, cost-effective care for patients? Develop a case management model program for multiprovider systems? Put into place continuous quality improvement, outcomes management, and clinical education programs that can be interrelated to form a powerful integrative engineComprehensive in scope, Clinical Integration highlights the vital leadership role executives and governing boards play in making integration a success. It also address the challenges of administrative and physician-system integration with chapters that describe operations within a product service\/line structure and outline a multifaceted approach to working with physicians collaboratively.Health care administrators, physicians, nurses, policymakers, educators, and students will find Clinical Integration to be a balanced blend of theory and practice that contains an  abundance of real-world strategies and lessons from pioneers in the field.
