Health care in America is in critical need of reform. Consider these trends: The United States spends almost 15 percent of its GDP on health care, and the cost is rising. The U.S. and other countries struggle to improve the quality of health care. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that health care service industry jobs will increase by more than 25% through 2010.

Leadership needed across the industry

There is a need for leaders in every sector of health care, including service providers, biotechnology, managed care, information technology, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and disease management. To create real change, managers must fully grasp how all of the pieces of the health care puzzle fit together, and how each decision affects the entire system.
