The goal is to focus on how information technology is changing the organization of the healthcare industry. It is transforming the relationships between purchasers, plans, patients, providers, and manufacturers. The vision of a seamless, transparent, real-time IT enabled healthcare system has met tantalizing successes as well as frustrating failures. The fierce competitive battles over new applications, technologies and services conceal the larger dimensions of the transformation that is taking place and the distinctive barriers it faces within the 1.5 trillion dollar U.S. Healthcare system.
